A new solar-powered hand-held voting machine should help prevent election fraud in Nigeria. The device uses biometrics such as facial recognition and thumbprint scans to register the voter into the system, and then stores the results in the cloud to keep track of any attempts to manipulate the system. The small size of the machine also marks a substantial improvement in making voting more accessible to all communities, including those in remote areas. The increased speed of voting electronically could also help prevent the manipulation of results, something that’s been a major issue in Nigeria.
