The review of the source code of the automated election system is now in full swing at the De La Salle University. By all indications, based on Commission on Elections (COMELEC) Resolution No. 9987 and the conduct of the briefing held last October 8, 2015, Smartmatic-TIM is in the driver’s seat.

There will be two sets of source code to be reviewed within a 7-month period. First is the review of the “baseline source code” which is the source code to be provided by Smartmatic-TIM without the rules and procedures in the counting and consolidation of votes specified in our election laws. This will followed by a review of the “source code after customization” which is the amended source code that includes the rules and procedures in the counting and consolidation of votes specified in our election laws. The Comelec aimed to give more time for the source code review rather than wait for the automated election system to be fully customized citing that in 2010 there was only a month’s opportunity to review the source code and for the 2013 there was only a 5-day opportunity.
