The STL biometric voter registration solution being utilized in Ghana will help create a reliable and credible voter register for the upcoming 2012 elections. The solution is provided by "Superlock Technologies Limited" (STL) Ghana. Any citizen of Ghana who is at least 18 years old can register by filling out a form with personal information such as name and birth date. A form of identification such as a passport, a national insurance card, a national ID card or two registered guarantors must be presented when registering. The potential voter's information is then input into a laptop computer, fingerprints are taken using a fingerprint scanner and a photo is taken using a webcam. The biometric registration process guarantees that each citizen is only registered once and so helps to prevent a bloated voter register. The EC's philosophy of "No Biometric Registration, No vote" and "One man, one vote that counts" is in this way fulfilled.
