In most of developing countries such as Ghana electioneering process normally results in election fraud such as double registration and other forms of election drawbacks during registration of voters and casting of votes by eligible voters. In the just ended Ghanaian election, electronic biometric registration and verification system was introduced during the registration and verification of voters. It was observed on the elections day that some of the genuine registered voters were not recognised by the biometric machine. However, the CI 75 which is the document that gives the rules and regulations pertaining to the Ghana elections indicated that no verification by biometric machine of a voter no vote from the voter. This means that before a voter could be allowed to cast his / her vote the biometric machine was supposed to recognize him/her first. Surprisingly, some of the eligible voters were disfranchised from voting which is against the constitutional rights of every Ghanaian who had reached the age of eighteen at the time of the registration of voters. Furthermore, some citizens that are physically challenged with no fingers were also denied the opportunities of exercising their franchise because the system used for the registration made use of fingerprint only. A Multi-scan biometric system is proposed to assist citizens that are physically challenged to cast their votes as well as to eradicate the problem of eligible registered voters disfranchised by the current biometric system. This paper proposes a multi scan system that allows citizens to use different parts of their bodies to go through the registration and verification process instead of their fingerprints alone as in the case of Ghana electioneering process. The introduction of this proposed system for general elections is expected to create room for full participation of all eligible voters, eliminate multiple voting and also increase the confidence of the people in Ghana in the electioneering process.
