Metro Manila (CNN Philippines, January 23) — A Commission on Elections (Comelec) official said the poll body is confident there will be fewer machine failures during the 2025 midterm polls with the entry of new automated counting machines (ACMs).
\”With this setup ngayon na bago ito, bagong mga makina ito, we are confident na kung may mangyari lamang, hindi ganun karami, hindi ganun kadaming mga areas na makakapag-experience,\” Comelec Executive Director Teopisto Elnas Jr. said on Tuesday.
[Translation: With this setup of new machines, we are confident that if there are incidents, there will be fewer, and not many areas will experience issues.]
The poll body plans to introduce the ACMs for the next national and local elections to replace the vote-counting machines (VCMs).
