Voter Registration Solution Overview

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."
