REGISTER OPTIMIZATION PROCESS II –AFIS

• Automated Fingerprint Identification System (AFIS)

• Uses a matching algorithm to determine

suspected duplicates by comparing their

fingerprints;fingerprints;

• Due to issues encountered in the first few days of

registration with regards to fingerprint capture

which led to some registrants without fingerprints,

the system uses an Equivalent Attribute Matching

(EAM) algorithm to remove duplicate records:

• Retains the record with fingerprints, or

• Latest registration, as the case may be

SAMPLE AFIS REPORTS

Same PU

Same Day

Obviously not an

intentional double

registration.

System retains the

most recent.

WAY FORWARD

• The Commission is eliminating the use of Addendum

Registers;

• CVR is proposed to handle cases of missing names,

especially in places with zero voters;

Need to enlighten the people to come out and • Need to enlighten the people to come out and

verify the status of their registration, before the CVR

commences; three days to CVR;

• People without their names in the register should

come for recapture during the CVR exercise;

CONCLUSION

• No doubt, a credible register is the bedrock for the

conduct of a successful election;

• As usual, the Commission is willing and ready to

conduct a free, fair and credible Governorship

• It needs the cooperation of Stakeholders to work

attention.
