In many countries, eligible voters do not often have a reliable ID. To prevent election fraud, a biometric registry is necessary to make sure that each registered person gets exactly one vote. The challenge is to collect data in the field and clean it from duplicates and ineligible voters like minors or deceased.
Once we had a clean voters registry, we needed to design, produce and supply voters with voter cards.
For a complete, reliable biometric registry
Innovatrics deployed multimodal (finger + face) ABIS and also provided the hardware. It also developed and installed software for field stations that were used to collect data and trained the supervisors of the process. The solution has been explicitly designed to collect high-quality biometric samples without compromising user experience.
After ABIS deployment, we migrated old records from previous elections. After enrolling new voters, we consolidated all data and ran deduplication to eliminate duplicates. Using our powerful face recognition and AI-driven age estimation, we were able to identify and eliminate minors.
high-quality unique voter records
to exclude minors
Innovatrics delivered the biometric registry in record time. It also devised a secure process to collect data from the field stations even without reliable high-speed internet connection, ensuring the data is complete. The elections adhered to international standards according to independent observers.
Increase of eligible voters
Voters registry was used to generate unique IDs which can be used as a proof of identity
To increase accuracy when applying one person, one vote principle
The International Election Observation Mission has affirmed that international electoral standards have been completely observed in the recently concluded Guinea elections
The system was designed to prevent multiple voting and the process for gathering data guaranteed that no data has been lost in transfer.
The elections have been closely monitored by international observers, so the system had to be accurate enough to weed out duplicates.
After all the data had been collected in the field, the voters registry was cleaned from duplicates and ineligible voters. Thanks to accurate algorithms and the world’s fastest ABIS, we deduplicated the database of 7 million voters in one week. Our advanced age estimation algorithm was then used to eliminate minors from the list.
With such a complete biometric registry of the adult population, Guinea can opt to provide other biometric services such as checking identity when providing social aid or financial services.

Our passion for technology brings biometric benefits to millions of people.
