The Election Commission’s vast national ID database is under serious technical risk due to the absence of an active disaster recovery system. The main database uses five open-source systems with no enterprise-level support. Built over 18 years, this database has no integrated international-standard backup tool. In case of a cyberattack or major accident, all NID-related services may be suspended for an extended period, including the printing of voter lists. The EC acknowledged the risk and said it is implementing recommendations from the cyber audit committee to ensure future security.
