Tanzania's National Electoral Commission (NEC) plans to introduce biometric voter registration for the 2015 elections, Tanzania's The Citizen reported Monday (April 15th).
"Adapting a cost effective and simple technology is a good way of solving the many election-related problems plaguing many African countries," said NEC chairman Damian Lubuva. The technology will infuse the electoral system with transparency and accountability, he said.
Lubuva said the government would soon float tenders for acquiring and installing a biometric electoral system well ahead of the elections to avoid technical complications as in Kenya's March 4th elections.
