MANILA, Philippines — The Commission on Elections (Comelec) has identified the countries where the test run of the overseas mobile voting application will be conducted. Comelec Commissioner Rowena Guanzon said the Comelec en banc had already approved the test run of the mobile voting app for possible use in the May 2022 polls. Likewise, Guanzon said she intended to propose to the commission en banc to consider the use of mobile app voting for domestic voters. Earlier, the poll official disclosed that four suppliers have offered to test run a mobile voting app for the commission, namely Indra Sistemas, Voatz, Smartmatic International, and Scytl. Since then, the Comelec has deactivated 578,185 overseas voters, who failed to vote in the 2016 and 2019 polls.
