How to Vote in an Automated Election System
Election time is here and to help you with its new system of voting, the first time in the country, we came up with these basic steps from COMELEC to guide you in voting.
Step 1- Go to your precinct on May 10
As much as possible, come earlier to your respective precincts to avoid hurrying for cut off. Casting of votes starts from 7:00 am to 6: 00 PM. Upon arriving at the precinct, look for your name at the Posted Computerized Voters List (PCVL) near the door of the voting center to
determine your precinct number and sequence number. The voter will be instructed to give this information to the Bureau of Election Inspector (BEI) together with other personal information. Make sure you bring your voter’s ID with you. If you don’t have one yet, bring any valid ID along with your registration stub.
STEP 2- Get your identity verified
After your identity is verified, your name will be read out loud to give
chance for any contention. If uncontested, you will be given a ballot by the BEI
chairman – only upon ensuring that you has not yet casted your vote in another
precinct.
STEP 3- Cast your Vote
Familiarize first how the ballot looks like. Listen to the BEI’s instruction on how to fill the ballot. You will be instructed to fill out your ballot using a secrecy folder and a marking pen provided by the Comelec. You must fill out the ballot by fully shading at least 50 percent of the oval beside the names of the candidates and party-list group of your choice.
· Every voter gets only ONE ballot. No replacement ballots will be given to voters who make a mistake.
· Make sure the ballot you receive has no marks and is otherwise clean.
· Each ballot comes with the name of the candidates. To the left of the candidates are ovals. Simply shade the oval next to the name of the chosen candidate.
· The oval must be shaded COMPLETELY. Ballots with check marks, x marks, partially shaded ovals, and other marks will be rejected.
· Do not over-vote (e.g. vote two candidates for the position of President) because this will invalidate your votes for the position (but not the whole ballot). You can bring a sheet of your chosen candidates with you when you vote.
STEP 4- Feed your ballot to the Precinct
Count Optical Scan (PCOS) Once you have accomplished your ballot, feed the ballot into the PCOS, the automated machines that reads the codes of your votes. You must personally feed
your ballot into the machine. Wait for the confirmation message to appear on the
screen. Wait until the ballot is dropped into the semi-transparent ballot box. If the ballot is
rejected, the BEI will allow for another reentry, but if rejected again, you will not be
issued a replacement ballot. STEP 5 Go to the Board of Election Inspector (BEI) for indelible inking Return the secrecy folder and marking pen to the BEI chairman. The
BEI chairman will in turn apply indelible ink at the base and extend it to the cuticle
of the right forefinger nail of the voter, who will then be instructed to affix his or
her thumbmark in the space in the Election Day Computerized Voters List (EDCVL).
Leave the voting area.
GO OUT AND VOTE WISELY!
