Biometrics technology has been applied in almost every aspect of society. To better manage voter identities, biometrics are used more frequently in elections. Therefore, biometric election terminals are widely recognized as a guarantee for credible elections.
What challenges will be brought when applying the manual voting method?
?Low efficiency. The manual method is easy to cause mistakes and costs too much time at the same time. Inaccurate registration information can lead to invalid or duplicate ballots, and thus the integrity of elections can’t be guaranteed.
?Bad experience and low participation. As the traditional manual voting method takes much time, the votes have to spend lots of time waiting and filling in personal information. This may not be a good experience for voters and they will be unwilling to participate in the election.
By using biometric vote terminals, voters’ identities can be verified in high efficiency and high accuracy before casting their ballots. Therefore, most voter impersonation, shady practices and other frauds can be avoided and the transparency of the election is ensured to its maximum.
The biometric election terminals make the voter registration and voter verification process easier, more convenient and more efficient. According to the statics, the fingerprint authentication of one voter can be completed within 0.5s.
It’s very easy to conduct the voter registration and voter verification process with biometric vote terminals.
The voter registration process
1.Voters to be registered come to the registration station.
2.The staff uses a biometric election terminal to capture biometric data, including fingerprint, face, iris, etc.

4.Voters’ identities and personal biological information will be saved.
The voter verification process
1.Registered voters come to the polling station.
