Abstract:
Models leading to acceptance of the technology
remain largely unrealized in economically transitioning
countries due to low adoption of appropriate and acceptable
electronic technology models. This is because electoral bodies
focus on the technical supply-side factors with little emphasis
on acceptable biometric technology systems. While a number
of adoption models have been applied to the developed
countries, they require domestication in order to address the
specific client-based needs of developing nations. This study
therefore was meant to provide A Model for User Acceptance
of BVR Technology. This model sought to explain the low
acceptance level of biometric technology acceptance that led to
development of a model which best support free, fair and
credible election process. A Model for Adoption and
Acceptance of Successful BVR Technology is developed and
validated. The findings affirm that the model can be adopted
and applied in both developing and developed countries to fast
track the voting process.
