Abstract

The Nigerian electoral system has witnessed a barrage of underage voting from time immemorial and the apex electoral body of the country has almost been incapacitated in providing a lasting solution to this menace of underage voter registration and voting. This act is commonly attributed to the northern part of the country where electoral officials were always under threat by politicians to allow children that are not up to eighteen (18) years of age to be registered as eligible voters. This has necessitated the proposal of an age detection system that will detect the age of an individual that wants to be registered for voting using iris biometric technology that employs Artificial Neural networks (ANN).
