Cameroon’s elections governing body Elecam has accepted to adopt biometric registration.West Africans overwhelmingly recognize voter biometrics as a useful safeguard of democracy.
The system will be used during the next round of registration, which was announced two weeks ago on the instructions of President Paul Biya.
Opposition parties and civil society organisations have been piling pressure on Elecam to adopt the biometric system.
