Biometrics applications: access to rights |
 |
Biometric technologies are increasingly used in order to control access to political rights, such as voting, welfare benefits, etc.
Identification cards with digitised fingerprints are being used in elector identification of voters in some countries (e.g. Mexico and Spain).
Biometric identification is also being introduced in national health care systems, as for example in the Canadian province of Ontario, in Los Angeles and Connecticut. Spain is developing a smart card for all welfare and pension benefits.
