Paper Abstract:
|
In the last decade, the electoral processes were purely manual where the verification process is limited to physical checking
from voters list to confirm the genuineness of the voters card. The process of verification was lengthy and cumbersome
during the election, in most cases; there were problems of multiple registrations. The remarkable growth in Information
and Communication Technology (ICT) to electoral processes created new voters verification opportunities for the
electorates. This opportunity was known as Smart Card Reader (SCR). This research aims to investigate the implementation
of Smart Card Reader (SCR) and its challenges during the verification process of election. Through Actor-network Theory
the theoretical lens, the study will present the processes of the implementation looking at the challenges. This will include
the Problems in Problematisation that started the implementation challenges, imperfect interessement that led way to more
challenges and incompetence in the enrollment. This study proposes a case study methodology to understand the
phenomenon under investigation. Multiple data collection methods; observation, interview, focus groups will be used to
collect data. The research is expected to contribute to the IS research adding to the literature on ICT to electoral processes. |
