Election Commissioner Jean Mensa, on Saturday, November 7, 2020, told MPs that the 8,000 new biometric voter registration kits purchased for the registration exercise worked efficiently.

Introducing the EC roadmap for the general election, he said that the efficiency of the kits resulted in the rapid and accurate capture of the biometric details of 17,029,971.

For her, the kits used for the recording exercise were an improvement on the kits used previously.

“In fact, compared to previous kits, current kits are more robust, easier to use and perform more effectively than previous kits. There were very few reports of kit breakdowns in the field. In fact, a good number of our Data Entry Clerks registered more than 280 people per kit per day compared to the past, where the highest registration was 100 voters per kit per day. All in all, the performance of the kits exceeded our expectations, ”he added.

He was optimistic that the teams would function effectively on Election Day.

“We are confident that the biometric verification devices will perform excellently on Election Day.”
