Comelec starts voter education road show
The Commission on Elections (Comelec) is set to conduct a nationwide voter education road show on Monday. The road show will include live demonstrations of the automated counting machine (ACM), allowing voters to familiarize themselves with the new technology.
In a social media post, the poll body announced that both newly registered and old voters will have the opportunity to experience how to use the ACM.
“The goal of the road show is to introduce the automated counting machine to Filipino voters, to ensure they understand how to properly use the machine, and to reinforce the importance of exercising their right and responsibility to vote,” the Comelec said.
The road show will run until Jan 30, 2025. Comelec Chair George Garcia shared during a briefing on Friday that the country currently has 68.6 million registered voters, a figure slightly below the projected 70 million.
