AesWatch asks JCOC to form assessment body for May 10 polls
The Automated Election System Watch (AES Watch), a broad, multi-sector citizens’ poll watchdog, calls on the Joint Congressional Oversight Committee (JCOC) to form an independent body to assess the just-concluded automated elections.
AesWatch suggests the said panel be formed with “competent individuals of established probity and mandated with proper and adequate support to conduct a thorough review and evaluation of the technical, procedural, and other aspects of the automated election system (AES) used in May 2010.”
AES Watch and several poll watchdogs that monitored the elections is concerned over many technical and procedural glitches which tend to put into question the overall validity of COMELEC’s claim that the conduct of the May 10 synchronized polls was successful. The appraisal of the recent automated elections is also needed to assist any legislative action to review RA 9369 and other election-related laws.
