PCOS Machines

I have an aunt who is a principal in a public school in Bulacan. She and her fellow teachers had an orientation last week about the coming election. They also tested and tried the machines. Some of the ballots were ejected. Votes from the trial are already stored and some of the teachers don’t know how to reset the machines.

I’m sure there will be lots of problems and disputes during the election. And who will take all of that? Us and especially the teachers. Filipinos, especially the old and the uneducated will surely find it hard to adjust with this new procedure. This coming election is an election where mistakes have no place. There can be only one ballot for a person. Make a mistake in that ballot and your vote will not be counted. And surely that will be very chaotic. People will surely complain if their votes will not be counted. There will be lots and lots of complaints. Soon in the future, if Filipinos will continue to comply with this procedure the election will be for some people only. Not all eligible Filipinos can vote. Little by little our election procedures are becoming analogous with those of the US’s where only a few of its citizens can vote. I don’t think the Filipinos will agree with that.

We’ll see what will happen in the election. Good Luck to all of us.
