ISELIN, N.J., Nov. 30, 2010 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- On Track Innovations
Ltd., (OTI) (Nasdaq:OTIV), a global leader in contactless
microprocessor-based smart card solutions for homeland security,
payments, petroleum payments, eID Systems and other applications, has
successfully completed the upgrade of Zanzibar's Permanent Voter
Registry, including the distribution of biometric-based voter cards,
for the country's electoral commission.

The project, announced in 2008, wrapped up last month after the
completion of general elections in Tanzania and Zanzibar. The
government's project objectives were to verify voter identity, detect
and avoid double registration attempts and issue new voter ID cards
bearing advanced security features. The system ensured a "one person -
one vote" election.

As part of the contract, OTI supplied its end-to-end solution, based on
its proprietary, state-of-the-art Voter ID Registry Magna(TM) platform.
The system captured the identity of eligible citizens, posted voter
lists and issued voter ID cards which were used in the recent election.
Enrollment was conducted throughout the country, both in urban and
rural areas, using OTI's mobile enrollment systems. OTI also provided
mobile enrollment stations and incorporated a biometric Automatic
Fingerprint Identification System (AFIS).

The Voter ID system detected hundreds of duplicate registration
attempts, which deterred others from trying to register multiple times;
as a result, the amount of eligible voters decreased by 18 percent
helping to provide more accurate and fairly conducted election.

"OTI's technology helped ensure a fair and democratic election in
Zanzibar, preserving the 'one person, one vote' key tenet the
government was trying to protect," said Oded Bashan, chairman and CEO,
OTI. "Our voter ID card system is a natural extension of our proven
expertise in developing advanced national ID card and electronic
passport systems. OTI's end-to-end Magna based solution, complemented
by the company's knowledge and experience, allows countries to access a
quick and cost-effective path to implement secured identification and
verification needs, regardless of the country's size and
telecommunication infrastructure."

OTI's Voter ID system supports both online and offline communication,
thereby allowing every citizen to register and vote irrespective of the
local area's communications infrastructure or rural or urban setting.
The system is designed to provide maximum accuracy and security while
being user friendly.
