Board of Election Inspectors : 

Board of Election Inspectors One (1) BEI for every clustered precinct Three regular members Chairman Delivers ballot to voter Poll Clerk Third Member Support Staff Depends on number of precincts clustered To assist Poll Clerk and Third Member in managing List of Voters with Voting Records Book of Voters

Establishing Identity of Voter : 

Establishing Identity of Voter LIST OF VOTERS WITH VOTING RECORDS Photograph

Establishing Identity of Voter : 

Establishing Identity of Voter

Establishing Identity of Voter : 

Establishing Identity of Voter If identity cannot be established through photograph Compare signatures Use Book of Voters Contains applications for registration Includes specimen signature of voter Other methods to challenge identity

Official Ballots : 

Official Ballots Pre-printed names of candidates 300 candidates can be accommodated 150 names per side of ballot

Official Ballots : 

Official Ballots Ovals opposite names of candidate Shade oval opposite name of chosen candidate

PCOS Precinct Count Optical Scan : 

PCOS Precinct Count Optical Scan One unit per clustered precinct Voter personally feeds ballot into machine Ballot can be fed at any orientation Ballot scanned both sides simultaneously

TESTING & SEALING PROCEDURESAt least three days before election day : 

TESTING & SEALING PROCEDURESAt least three days before election day Public shall accomplish test ballots Ballots shall be manually counted and election returns accomplished Same set of ballots that was manually counted shall be fed into the counting machine Manual count shall be compared with the print-out of the election returns If public is satisfied that the manual count is the same as the automated count, the print-out and manually prepared election returns shall be signed-off by the witnesses Machines shall be sealed without any connection to transmission links Public shall be allowed to secure the polling places where the counting machines are installed The only time that the counting machines shall be opened is on election day in the presence of watchers

Voting : 

Voting Voting period 7:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. Unless there are voters waiting for their turn to vote Poll Clerk lists down names voters queuing Poll Clerk calls voter to cast ballot Voter who fails to appear after being called twice shall not longer be allowed to vote Precinct set up At least 10 voters can cast ballot at any one time

Voting : 

Voting Before voting starts Show that ballot box is empty Transparent plastic Turn on and initialize PCOS Print “Zero Report” To show that there is no entry/vote in machine’s memory

Counting : 

Counting At close of polls Perform close function To prevent additional ballots from being inserted After close function, PCOS automatically Starts counting process Prints election returns after completion of automated count Eight (8) copies

Counting : 

Counting Insert transmission cable After printing first eight (8) copies of ER To eliminate doubts that the PCOS can be manipulated remotely Perform electronic transmission function Print additional twenty-two (22) copies of ER Automatically performed by PCOS after completion of transmission

Canvassing/Consolidation : 

Canvassing/Consolidation Electronically transmitted results Used as basis for canvassing/consolidation and proclamation of winning candidates for City/municipal officials Provincial officials Members, House of Representatives Senators and Party-list Congress will also receive electronically transmitted results Constitution authorized the Congress to promulgate rules for canvassing of results for President and Vice-President

SECURITY : 

SECURITY Security measures under a manual election system still applicable Strengthen security through automation Password PIN Digital signatures Encryption

SECURITY : 

SECURITY 128-bit encryption Same security system used by banks Random Encryption Temperature of machine Voltage Unique machine identity User identity No single/master decryption code

SECURITY : 

SECURITY Time needed to decrypt one precinct result will be same amount of time needed to decrypt next precinct result Transmission takes at most 2 minutes Copies for distribution 30 copies of election returns at the precinct level 30 copies of certificate of canvass at municipal level 14 copies of certificate of canvass at provincial level

SECURITY : 

SECURITY Audit Log Activities Time Date

SECURITY : 

SECURITY Paper Ballot Ballot digital image Data storage device Transmitted results Hard copies of election results

FIELD TEST/S : 

FIELD TEST/S 8 areas 2 for NCR 2 each (1 urban/1 rural) Luzon Visayas Mindanao To test system and transmission in the same environment/conditions as on election day

CONTINUITY PLAN : 

CONTINUITY PLAN Types of Systems Breakdown Fails to scan Able to scan but fails to print ER Able to print ER but fails to transmit Able to transmit but fails to consolidate

CONTINUITY PLAN : 

CONTINUITY PLAN Fails to scan Use spare PCOS Use PCOS of another precinct Wait for other PCOS to complete process in its precinct Get PCOS and reconfigure for next precinct Scan ballots If all PCOS fails Manual counting

CONTINUITY PLAN : 

CONTINUITY PLAN Able to scan but fails to print ER Use spare PCOS Use PCOS of another precinct Wait for other PCOS to complete process in its precinct Get PCOS and reconfigure for next precinct Use removable storage device of defective PCOS and let replacement PCOS print ER If all PCOS fails Manual counting

CONTINUITY PLAN : 

CONTINUITY PLAN Able to print ER but fails to transmit Go to nearest precinct or polling center which has a functioning transmission facility Use removable storage device of defective PCOS and let the functioning facility transmit precinct results If all transmission facilities bog down Physically transport removable storage device to canvassing site In the presence of watchers and security escorts

CONTINUITY PLAN : 

CONTINUITY PLAN Able to transmit but fails to consolidate Use consolidation/canvassing system (CCS) of another municipality/province Use the removable storage device and let functioning CCS consolidate the results Provide back-up canvassing through the Central Server Print results and send the same to affected board of canvassers Print results and constitute special board of canvassers to take the place of the affected board

Basic Elements of Elections : 

Basic Elements of Elections People Vote-buying Coercion Intimidation Terrorism Systems & Procedures Misreading of ballots Unreadable handwriting Error Honest Deliberate Fraud Manufactured election returns Tampering of election results
