It ought to permit different organizations to gather information in light of clear rules to technique and nature of information and spotlight more on deduplication, check and the executives of the information.

"INEC ought to initiate full web-based enrollment of electors right away.

"The current entry ought to be outfitted with every one of the important abilities for registrants to give their data, as well as to catch their biometrics.

"The entrance ought to have the option to return a message affirming the effective enlistment of an elector and deal an electronic PVC to be printed and overlaid by the registrant.

"End the printing of PVCs and move the assets to elector enlistment. INEC ought to give PVCs as paper archives at the place of enrollment, which can be printed and covered by the holder. INEC ought to likewise offer downloadable PVCs from its enrollment gateway, guaranteeing the fundamental checks against fraud.

"INEC ought to utilize determined character archives, for example, worldwide visas and Public ldentity Cards for casting a ballot. This ought to be steered in a few off-cycle and by-decisions.
