If the EMB uses technology to collect voter registration data, is biometric data captured and used during registration?
Georgia
“The Public Service Development Agency (PSDA) within the Ministry of Justice is in the process of introducing biometric data in the state registry. To remove inconsistencies in VLs, door-to-door verification was conducted and facial recognition software is being used to remove duplicate records. In addition, a photograph of the voter is included on VLs, which, according to OSCE/ODIHR EOM interlocutors, appears to be largely accepted by the public.”
Voter lists are extracted from the database of the Public Service Development Agency; but this agency collects biometrics data (photos) which are used in identification of voters in polling stations.
