What are the key challenges in modernizing electoral processes?

Modernizing elections registers with biometric technology offers major benefits but requires overcoming key challenges to ensure fairness and effectiveness.

Security & privacy challenges

Key challenges in using biometrics for elections include ensuring system security against cyber threats and protecting sensitive personal data in compliance with privacy regulations.
Interoperable solution

While implementing biometric systems requires investment in collecting and storing biometric data, interoperable systems enable reuse, efficient data migration, and enhanced security, ensuring credible elections and strengthening voter trust.
Access, inclusion & trust

Biometric systems may not be accessible for all voters, especially in remote areas or with disabilities. Electoral commissions should ensure inclusive registration and clear communication to build public trust and confidence in biometric-based electoral processes.
