#automated elections

This year, 2022, the transparency server by the Commission on Elections (COMELEC) has reached 98 percent within 24 hours. Evidently, regional factors provided the leading candidates advantages and disadvantages, but the convergence of these proved to be sufficient to give them a majority of the votes, the first time since at least the 1981 elections. With the advent of automated elections in the Philippines, online means have been introduced for citizens to find their precincts. If these steps still did not work, you may try to contact your local Commission on Elections (COMELEC) office that has jurisdiction over your registration. The voter precinct finder has been launched on April 22, 2022 in coordination with the Department of Information and Communications Technology (DICT), which hosts cloud services for COMELEC for this year's elections. Editor's Note: This is part 2 of a three-part series on the brief history of automated elections in the Philippines. This despite the history in automating their elections, a development expected to increase electoral accountability, integrity, and transparency. For instance, Pulse Asia reports that 7 percent of Filipinos in 2019 still believe there is cheating in elections, compared to 10 percent in 2016 and 13 percent in 2013.
