BIO-key International
and Tiger IT delivered the largest biometric-based voter credentialing and
national identity card solution in the world.
This system was deployed to enable Bangladesh’s general elections, scheduled
for Q4 2008.
This scalable solution: •
Enrolls and
manages digital identities, •
Prevents voters
registering more than once, •
Issues temporary
national identity cards.
"... a truly historic achievement: the successful, on-time
registration of over 80 million voters, with digital
photographs and finger prints. Never before, in any
other country, have so many people been electronically registered in
such a
short time. This in itself is an outstanding achievement. But it is
not only the
immense scale of the undertaking that is so impressive. So is
the accuracy of
the list. Modern technology enabled the
elimination of duplicate and
fraudulent
entries, and will significantly reduce the occurrence of vote theft."
