First automated elections in the country

February 1, 2010

Election Day will soon be here with only few more months to go and we can feel the tough competition among the candidates already rising. Last Friday was also the running of the field test for the first automated elections in the country. Unfortunately the machine failed to read 4 out of 10 valid ballots. That means a 40% failure rate. Ouch. Add to that was the difficulty in transmitting via Internet the results from the precinct to the municipal board of canvassers (MBOC). Duh… If only the process could be as simple as getting a free life insurance quote online, then people would not have doubts about the integrity of the first automated elections. Hmmm… Technology issues again, and this is no trivial matter as the future of the nation depends on this.
