Details have emerged revealing the security features that the IEBC seeks to embed to ballot papers as well as election results forms that would be used in the 2022 general election. IEBC, possibly cognisant of the verdict of the Supreme Court in the nullification of the 2017 presidential election, has set the features for ballot papers, results forms, and the voter register. Ballot papers would be required to have a guilloche security pattern and a micro-text that can only be visible under a minimum magnification of 10 times. Bidders will be required to supply ballot papers with an IEBC logo as a security feature visible only under ultraviolet light. Like ballot papers, IEBC wants the papers fitted with UV light sensitive security features, among them an IEBC logo as visible only under UV light.
