1. What are the electronic card and biometric voter
cards?
There will be four types of electronic/biometric
voter cards issued for this election: • New electron-
ic biometric voter cards – these have been printed
for persons who visited voter registration centers
before November 9, 2017, and registered biomet-
rically. The card contains personal and biometric
data of the voter, as well as assigned polling lo-
cation information. • New electronic voter card
(non-biometric) – these have been printed for
“first-time” voters, i.e. those who turned 18 since
the last elections, but did not register biometrical-
ly. The card contains the voter’s personal data and
assigned polling location information, but no bio-
metric data.6 • New biometric voter card for secu-
rity forces – these contain personal and biometric
data of the voter, as well as assigned polling loca-
tion information. The serial number of the card is
different from those on the regular voters’ cards. •
“Old” electronic voter card – these were distribut-
ed for the 2014 elections. The card contains per-
sonal data of the voter as well as assigned polling
location information. The electronic and biometric
cards will be active only for Election Day from 7:00
a.m. to 6:00 p.m. and will be deactivated for 30
days after being used to vote. They cannot be used
to vote twice.
