September 2004 will bring a new era to Afghanistan. This is
a period when central Transitional Government will hold first
democratic, free and fair elections. Thus it is of very high
importance that there is a perfect machinery geared up to ensure
every legitimate voter is identified and registered well in
advance. Also during the actual elections it will be every
persons desire to ensure that elections are free and fair.
If used cleverly, information technology can be a biggest
asset and will play a vital role. A well designed system that
identifies each voter and only after verifying their identity
allows them to vote electronically. Self locking system that
prevents vote rigging will be a blessing. System that also
prints a paper vote for any Manuel counting will be of great
assistance.
We wish to recommend a state of the art solution that is
a right mix of hardware, custom built software and user interface
that is extremely secure, friendly and intuitive. This solution
will be dual faced allowing English and Pashto/Dari users
to work with as much ease. System will be configured to take
automatic / Manuel database back ups at predetermined intervals.
The solution includes solutions that can carry proper equipment
around for voter registration such as custom designed carry
bags. Voter booth equipments that can sustain heavy load.
Overall this system should be able to collect voter information
in a secure and highly unique way. This system should also
assist in ensuring free and fair elections with ability declare
results in minutes if desired.
