"Heightened safeguards and protection are essential due to the development of nationwide biometric databases, which process large amounts of personal data in voter registration."
"The risks are exponentially higher in the electoral context, particularly where the use of technical products or services provided by a company is made essential to the voting exercise."
"The adoption of the Council of Europe’s Guidelines reflects a growing recognition of the need for proper safeguards in handling personal data for voter registration and authentication."
