The Philippines, considered one of Asia's oldest democracies, is no stranger to this process. The National Citizens' Movement for Free Elections (NAMFREL) was accredited to conduct "Operation Quick Count," a parallel but unofficial tabulation regarded as an innovation in election technology at the time. 1986 Alleged discrepancies between the COMELEC's official count and the parallel quick count done by NAMFREL were highlighted when 35 tabulators walked out from the National Computer Center while the tally was still ongoing. 1987 The opposition coalition Grand Alliance for Democracy accused both COMELEC and NAMFREL of electoral fraud in the Senate elections, alleging there were disks that can be used to prove the votes received by administration candidates bordered statistical improbability. The provinces constituting the Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (ARMM, now Bangsamoro Autonomous Region) were arguably the first in the Philippines to use machines with optical mark recognition (OMR) in their 1996 election. 2008 ARMM becomes the first region in the Philippines to conduct electronic voting with all of its provinces. 2010 Full automation of elections were implemented in the Philippines. That is, between NAMFREL and the Parish Pastoral Council for Responsible Voting (PPCRV).
