That sounds incredibly bad for a first-world country. If that was the case, I'd argue that the entire country is in collapse. As you then have no control over foreigners impersonating locals and manipulating something as serious as elections, never-mind bank-fraud.

Edit: Point being, this needs to be fixed ASAP if you are to move your country into the future. Fix the regulatory/state hurdles that prevent it from happening, and get yourselves National Identification that's secure. Things will flow positively from there.
