President Duterte speaks out on elections 0 SHARES Share it! Share TweetCongress passed RA 9369 in 2007 calling for automated elections and the Commission on Elections (Comelec) tried the new system in the Autonomous Region of Muslim Mindanao (ARMM) in 2008. Thus in the national elections of 2010, paper-based automated elections were held all over the country and the new system was hailed for the swiftness with which the results were announced. Last Thursday, President Duterte stepped into the picture. The Comelec can make it happen now that President Duterte has called for a new provider of voting machines with the overall goal of clean elections and a minimum of protests.
