• Resumen

  • Somaliland's election commission is trialling an iris-based biometric system that it hopes will put an end to duplicate registrations. This would make it one of the most advanced voter registration systems on the planet. Authorities had previously tried incorporating fingerprints and facial recognition when compiling voter lists, but still found a large number of duplicate registrations. So, on behalf of the National Electoral Commission, election specialist Roy Dalle Vedove approached Kevin Bowyer and his team at the University of Notre Dame in Indiana for help designing a system using iris recognition, which is considered more accurate than fingerprint or face recognition.
