Voters in Kabarole District are raising concerns about the reliability of the newly procured Biometric Voter Verification Kits, fearing that technical failures could disrupt voting and potentially marginalize citizens on polling day.
In Kistwamba Sub- County, Sarah Kunuhira says the introduction of new technology has stirred anxiety, particularly among elderly residents who are unfamiliar with digital systems.
She worries that any malfunction on polling day could lock out eligible voters and create confusion.
Her concerns are shared by Peter Sunday, another resident of the area, who is calling for greater public awareness about how the biometric kits work. These concerns come as the Electoral Commission rolls out training for officials who will operate the Biometric Voter Verification Kits across Kabarole District. END
