The biometric solution helped them to verify a registered voter before the election that prevents the ghost votes.<\/p>\n<p>Ezra Chiloba, the CEO of IEBC, was quite satisfied with the new biometric adoption. He said that the verification process of voter registration is going pretty well as the official representatives started using the KIEMS kit and related stuff.<\/p>\n<div align=\"center\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/PkoyvlLhBy0?rel=0&amp;showinfo=0\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\"><\/iframe><small style=\"font-size: 12px; font-style: italic; display: block; text-align: center;\">Biometric Deduplication System<\/small><\/div>\n<p>It needs high accuracy biometric identification and matching system to perform in a large project like Kenya\u2019s General Election.
