ISLAMABAD: Probably a machine Apple would have to work yet, Pakistan has developed an electronic voting machine which would use thumb impression to count a vote.
Tariq Malik, chairman of National Database Registration Authority (NADRA), reveals that the authority has managed to develop a unique machine for the electronic voting.
The technology is quite similar to the newly introduced Fingerprint Impression technology in its latest version of iPhone, iPhone 5S. But this technology has taken a multidimensional investment of finances, human and technology of Apple.
But the newly developed machine from the country is more significant as compared to iPhone 5S in sense that it would count millions of millions of fingerprint impressions within a span of 09 to 10 hours.
“Electronic Voting Machine has been developed in collaboration with Telephone Industry of Pakistan (TIP),” Malik said.
TIP is state sponsored institution producing Telephone Exchanges, Hybirds, Printed Circuit boards, Telephone sets, Communication towers, Container Shells, Telecom Batteries, Fire Alarm System, Drop wire and Energy meters as it’s product range.
From the upcoming general elections, the machine could be used using thumb impression. The move is likely to break the prevalent trend of fake voting in various constituencies of the country.
