A credible
registration list
|
|
Very few public officials and
private citizens have expressed concern about the Commission on
Elections’ (Comelec) controversial registration list, the official
registry of enrolled qualified voters. The national focus is on the
automation of the 2010 elections, when computerization is expected
to speed up the system of casting ballots and the tabulation of
results, helping ensure peaceful and credible elections.
The Comelec is eyeing two options
for automated voting, both tested in the recent elections in the
Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao. Either system is an
improvement over the current manual process of voting and counting
and should bring the Philippines closer to the modern age of
suffrage.
