Sierra Leone: Woman Gets Two Years for Double Registration (All Africa)
Fatmata Gbla, 60, has been sentenced to six years imprisonment or pay a fine of Le 500,000 for registering twice in the ongoing biometric voter registration.
5,000,000.00 SLL = 1,144.63 USD
Sierra Leone GDP - per capita (PPP): $800 (2011 est.)

Sierra Leone isn't messing around. For countries serious about reducing rampant vote fraud and the corruption it enables, biometrics can certainly help.
