Elections commission decide no fingerprints on political party membership forms

Political party membership forms will not include fingerprints, the elections commission has decided.
A decision was made by the independent bodies committee of parliament earlier this month due to concerns from political parties over the rejection of membership forms citing invalid or unclear fingerprints, a statement read.
The concern from political parties is that there is no system to verify the authenticity of the fingerprints on membership forms.
Elections commission stressed that since they enforced to include finger prints, the number of false registrations had reduced.
