Improvement of election credibility linked to robust national identification system

Chairperson of the Electoral Commission, Mrs Charlotte Osei, has made a strong case that the improvement of election credibility in Africa is hinged on the establishment of a robust national identification system. 

She said most countries on the continent have weak national identification systems which gravely affect the creation of credible voter registers. 

Speaking at a UNDP policy forum in Accra, Mrs Osei said this weakness also affects the credibility of Electoral Management Systems in Africa.
