If the EMB uses technology to collect voter registration data, is biometric data captured and used during registration?

Law 2241 of 1986, adopting the Electoral Code (last updated in 2017)

Título IV, Artículo 78: La  inscripción  es  acto  que  requiere  para  su  validez  la  presencia  del ciudadano  y  la  impresión  de  la  huella  del  dedo  índice  derecho  del  inscrito,  en  el correspondiente documento oficial. En el caso de personas mutiladas se dejará constancia y se procederá a imprimir otra huella que permita identificar al inscrito.

The Electoral Code requires that in the registration process, citizens have their fingerprint recorded (see Título IV, Artículo 78). The collection of biometric information in the voter registration process began in 2000. Although fingerprints first began to be used for identifying voters in some jurisdictions in 2009, it was the Law 1475 of 2011 which created the framework allowing for the standardization of biometric identification at polling stations (see Título III, Capítulo IV, Artículo 39). The National Civil Status Registry confirms that fingerprint scanning is used for voter identification at the polls.
