October 31, 2009 - The Commission on Elections (COMELEC) told Congress computerization of the electoral process will begin in the year 2013, because there is no longer enough time to implement computerization in the presidential race of 2010.
COMELEC Commissioner Manolo Gorospe says the National Movement for Free elections (NAMFREL) is dreaming when it claims that nationwide computerization in next year's election is still possible. Gorospe proposes conducting the 2010 elections using the old system.
Meanwhile, the Senate failed last night to pas the bill on automated elections in 2010. Congress goes on a 10-day Halloween recess beginning today.
Senator Miriam Defensor-Santiago explained that the non-passage of the automated election bill was due to the doubts by some senators on the constitutionality of the bill as drafted by the Commission on Elections.
