CODEO urges EC to forestall potential cases of biometric verification failures

The Coalition of Domestic Election Observers [CODEO] has asked the Electoral Commission to as a matter of necessity, identify all malfunctioning equipment and ascertain the reasons for the malfunctioning to help address possible equipment failure on Election Day.

The Electoral Commission should clearly identify, outline or publicise modalities for dealing with the potential cases of biometric verification failures to reduce possible tension associated with turning eligible voters away on Election Day because of verification failures. 

This is contained in recommendations arrived at after CODEO released its final report on the 21 day voters' register exhibition exercise.
