The head of the Commission on Elections (Comelec)
said Thursday that the manual system might still be used for
overseas absentee voters (OAV) as automation would apply only to
regions where there are a concentrated number of overseas Filipino
workers.
Comelec Chairman Jose Melo said automating all absentee voter
centers is “logistically impractical.”
According to the Philippine
Atmospheric Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (Pagasa),
no tropical cyclone exists within the Philippine area of
responsibility.
