Clean voters’ database: A challenge to a transparent 2022 elections

IN the series of articles “Who cares about supporting transparency to win?” (https://www.manilatimes.net/2020/12/16/opinion/columnists/topanalysis/who-cares-about-supporting-transparency-to-win/811644/), the main highlight was the use of the proposed hybrid election system in the 2022 elections for transparent voting and counting of votes at the precinct level and the electronic transmission of election results as described in the Senate Bill 1950 filed by Senators Sotto, Villar and Marcos.

Corollarily, the conclusion of the Consultative Committee to review the Constitution, which was chaired by retired chief justice Reynato Puno, was also emphasized: “In all elections, the appreciation of ballots and counting of votes by whatever manner shall be accessible and open to the public.”
