DAIC Encourages the Private Sector and other Stakeholders to Fulfill Responsibility in Electoral Process
The DAIC encourages the Private Sector and other stakeholder to actively fulfill their responsibility in the electoral process by being adequately informed and understanding the process in order to utilize the system to achieve the desired result.
Mr. Burton noted that one of the difficulties has been to uniquely identify the voter who turns up to vote. He declared that this difficulty would be remedied by the introduction of voters’ identification cards containing specified personal information.
He further stated that it is important to implement an electoral system where voters would not opt out of critical aspects of the process; hence, it is essential to have this critical process embodied in law. Additionally, he emphasized that the missing action for the success of this is the implementation of a statutory amendment for bringing the system into effect given that all equipment and logistics for implementation are available.
It was understood that the process of voter verification is not for the addition of new voters to the list but for verification of the identity of voters who have been previously registered.
