After the massive protests of the political parties, Afghan Independent Election Commission (IEC) announced that biometric devices will be used in the upcoming election.
Now, the IEC says the devices will be used offline in the election.

Many election observers and political parties say that if the biometric devices would be used offline, it will not help the transparency of the elections.
“it has been too late to use biometric devices,” Fazal Ahmad Manavi, former head of the IEC said.

However, the parliamentary election is scheduled to be held in the coming Saturday.
