Biometric voting could only be introduced here if there are constitutional changes, Attorney General Anil Nandlall has stressed, adding that in raising the issue again, the opposition is just attempting to misdirect the public before elections.
“Biometrics cannot be put in the law because it will conflict with the constitution. We all know there is one constitutional process to which we are committed. No mere legislative intervention can introduce biometrics in light of the constitution provisions and the ruling in the case of Esther Perreira,” Nandlall on Sunday told the Stabroek News.
“The opposition is simply trying to lay the foundation to cause possible disruption either before or after the elections,” he added, pointing out that his posture now is no different from that he has consistently been making.
