00:00 Komelek's mock testing is now underway for automated elections in Quezon City and Dasmariña in Cavite.
00:06 We have on the spot Mackie Pulido. Mackie?
00:09 As a good news, the first automated BSKE in October 30, 2023,
00:16 conducted mock automated elections today.
00:20 But that's automated, Connie, in the neighboring barangay in Dasmariña City and Quezon City.
00:26 Komelek chose barangays with a large voting population.
00:30 In 45,000 barangays in Quezon City,
00:34 more than 35,000 voters are in the barangay Paliparan 3 and Poblacion Dasmariña City.
00:41 Most of the places in the country are still manual voting.
00:44 Komelek wants the country's automated 1,000 vote counting machines out of 98,000 usable.
00:53 The 1,000 VCM will be used in the barangay and SK elections in October.
00:58 In the mock elections, there are still cases of paper jam,
01:01 but the machines are too much for some barangays to automate.
01:06 The mock elections started at 7 a.m. and for those who participated,
01:09 the automated elections will have a big impact for the barangay and SK.
01:14 Like a grandmother who had a hard time writing,
01:17 she said the process is faster.
01:20 The problem is, the mock elections are fine,
01:24 but in the actual, the waiting time is long and the whole day is just for voting.
01:28 Komelek wants the country's automated voting machines in the next barangay and SK elections in 2025.
01:36 The problem is the budget.
01:37 The BSKE is not included in the 22.5 billion election budget and the 2024 national budget.
01:45 That's why Komelek asked for a supplemental budget.
01:48 In the first and second week of September, Komelek will start choosing the company
01:53 where they will lead with options to purchase VCMs.
01:57 It may be possible to package the BSKE at midterm elections.
02:01 Connie?
02:02 Thank you very much, Mackie Polido.
