Al-Ghalai stressed that "all lost cards have been disabled and canceled, and will no longer be valid at all, and only the official owner of the card can vote because of the intersection of the fingerprint in the electronic verification device that relies on official and vital data (the personal photo and the ten fingerprint)."
