The Somaliland National Elections Commission has started trials to test the viability of the IRIS-BVVS Biometric Voter Verification System at the hall of the Civil Service Institute.
The exercise was attended by leaders of both political parties and political organizations, SONSAF officials and some members of the public.
The National Electoral Commission introduced the appliances and briefed the gathering on it hence was openly tested in the trials tests on those in attendance.
The stake-holding officials who later gave their analysis expressed both their observations and reservations on the pros and cons they assumedly deduced.
At the close of the exercise it was agreed in consensus that they would meet in consultations to review the IRIS-BVVS system once the trial exercises are completed across the targeted areas.
