Bosnia and Herzegovina is preparing for general elections on October 4th, marking the first time biometric identification and ballot scanning will be used. The Central Election Commission (CEC BiH) is currently seeking a company to independently assess the new technologies being implemented. A key concern is whether adequate training for both voters and election administrators will be completed before the election date. The new system aims to enhance the security and transparency of the electoral process. The successful implementation hinges on the timely completion of this training and independent system verification. Delays could potentially impact the smooth running of the elections. The Sarajevo Times is following the story closely as the deadline approaches.
