Integrated Biometrics is providing up to 13,000 + Watson Minis to help register and enroll eligible voters in Brazil and Brazilian consulate offices worldwide.
The enrollment process will continue throughout 2015 with a goal of being completed by 2017. The fingerprint scanners are part of a biometric kit provided by Akiyama Soluções Tecnológicas (Akiyama), the exclusive distributor of Integrated Biometrics products in Brazil, which was recently selected by the country’s Tribunal Superior Eleitoral to service this voter registration project.
The kit includes the necessary equipment and software to register and enroll voters and is part of the country’s efforts to assure security and reduce potential for fraud.
Biometric scanning of fingerprints is expected to be required in future elections.
