Electoral Commission of Jamaica, ELECTOR REGISTRATION SYSTEM (ERS), accessed 28 September 2020

“The basis of the new Elector Registration System is the collection of the elector’s demographic data, his/her photograph and fingerprints. Fingerprints are cross-matched to ensure that there are no multiple registrations and to put in place a system which ensures that each registered Elector has ONLY ONE opportunity to Vote (i.e., appears on the voters list ONLY ONCE). The use of fingerprints is now the centrepiece for identifying electors.”
