Is the biometric data used in voter identification at polling stations?

International Republican Institute, Georgia’s Parliamentary Election October 8 and October 30 2016 , The Final Report of IRI’s Long-Term Observation Mission

“This was the second election in which the photos on voter identification cards were compared with photos on the voters list. The process was called “voter verification” and appeared to result in a marked decrease in complaints about double voting or voter identification-related fraud. Voters who did not possess biometric photo voter cards after the local elections in 2014 were able to report to the Ministry of Justice to verify their voter registration address and receive an ID card free-of-charge. Citizens who were unable to procure a biometric ID in time for Election Day were permitted to vote with an official photo ID, which was matched with their photo on the voter list.”

While technology is not used to collect voter registration data, the Public Service Development Agency collects biometrics data (photos) which are used in identification of voters in polling stations.
