Identification requirements for voter registration should be improved in cooperation with the implementation of a national census or civil registry. The majority of Guinean citizens do not hold an identity card or birth certificate. Registration of voters, mainly in rural areas, is generally only made possible with the use of witnesses. The AFIS project could also be considered as a tool for civil registry.
