BIOMETRIC VOTER REGISTRATION SOLUTION: A Voter Registran System for automatic data capturing with advaned OMR and direct capturing of biometric fingerprints, facial picture and digital or digitized signarure for verification and de-duplication

(US Patents: 7,635,088; 7,635,087; 7,614,553; 6,892,944; 7,036,730; 7,077,313; 7,422,150; 7,431,209; 6,973,581; 7,197,167;  and pending patents: 11/709,449; & others)

AVANTE Biometric Voter Registration Solution incorporate total automatic data capturing with advanced OMR-ICR technology from captured digital images of voter forms. This patented accurate personal and demographic data capturing technology afforded a lowest costs solution with the auditable integrity of voter registration forms that are signed by the voters and incorporating other data such as signature, fingerprints and personal picture.

A complete and accurate voters list is the starting point of a credible election. An election that is both credible must also prevent voters from voting more than once and unregistered voters from voting. The use of biomtrics for automatic de-duplication, verification and authentication at the point-of-counting represents the best solution in ensuring election with highest integrity is a patented solution of AVANTE.

The following are the OMR-ICR based solution that incorporates biometrics for voter authentication and de-cuplication:

 

 

Key Technologies and Benefits:

1. A totally automatic data capturing from voter completed forms with or without staff assistance:

AVANTE patented advanced OMR registration forms ensure quick and accurate data cpaturing before acquisition of biometric fingerprints, digital facial images and/or dynamic or digitized signature. 

 

Uses a Unique Form Identiifer and 128 Bit Encryption Technology

Each voter registration is embedded with both GIS and voting sub-divisional information along with unique identifier to prevent any human and machine errors for capturing the voter personal and demographic data. Each of the voter file are hashed with 128-256 bit or better to prevent tampering or unauthorized changes for ultimate integrity. 

 Saves Voter Registration Costs and Error

Reduces the need for clerical staff that manually types voter information when the voter personal and demographic data are captured automatically with the used of the patented and proven OMR technologies. All data including voter's signature, fingerprints and pictures can can be scanned and captured at the same time in forming part of the audit log and database of voter registraiotn. Eliminates employee overtime costs and data entry concerns.

Dramatically Reduces Human Error

Reduces or eliminates the need to transcribe data and provides for timely management of massive last minute voter registration.

Kiosk for Biometric Capturing, Template Forming for Authentication and Verification

For the countries where physical biometrics may be used for identification and authentication, biometrics such as fingerprints, facial picture and dynamic digital signature are useful means for both verification and authentications. AVANTE solution incorporated all of the capturing, template forming and matching applications of voters for improving the voting integrity. 

 

 

2. An Optional Online Real Time Secure Voter Registration System
Designed for both onsite and on-line access to a central database with 128-bit security encryption or operated off line with periodic data downloads. One can use mobile computers such as a standard notebook with a printer and special signature pad
