Filipinos vote tomorrow, facing automated system challenges

Millions of Filipinos will vote tomorrow in national and local elections, facing potential challenges with automated voting systems. The Commission on Elections (Comelec) has deployed automated counting machines (ACMs) and implemented internet voting for overseas Filipinos, despite past technical issues and concerns about security. The Comelec has also made initiatives to make voting easier, such as the online precinct finder and the Mall Voting Program. Despite technological advancements, the Comelec and voters must remain vigilant to ensure the integrity of the elections, as the automated system has faced controversies and potential for glitches.
