NEC recently announced the use of a biometric voter-identification system to prevent electoral fraud and chaos, which has marred previous elections. The move comes as NEC has for years been under pressure to dash its optical manual registration (OMR) system. Representative Dennis seeks the indulgence of her colleagues to allow the Chairperson of NEC appears before the full Plenary to explain more about the biometric registration process. The Montserrado lawmaker said in as much as biometric registration may be a good thing, she believes that the country's electoral system is not yet prepared to absorb it. The Montserrado Lawmaker averred that lack of understanding of such a system could result in denial of service to citizens from exercising their constitutional rights.
