Abstract
Papua New Guinea (PNG) has long had serious difficulties with its electoral roll and voter identification practices. Recently, there has been a flurry of proposals for introducing biometric technology into this faltering system. A balanced assessment of the issues suggests caution should be taken. There are no quick fixes for PNG’s electoral roll woes, and while biometric technology could have a positive impact in some respects, there are substantial costs.
