Share TweetBy Vanne Elaine TerrazolaThe Commission on Elections (Comelec) has purchased 97,350 vote counting machines (VCMs) for reuse in the 2019 elections. Tolentino said the acceptance test they conducted on the VCMs assured that machines would be “running properly” for next year’s polls. When asked by JCOC-AES chair Sen. Koko Pimentel, Tolentino said the missing VCMs would not threaten the results of the 2019 polls. It will be a big conspiracy before they could use the machines,” Tolentino told Pimentel.
