The Commission on Elections (Comelec) has pushed back the review of local source codes for the 2025 national and local elections until January 2025. Chairman George Garcia emphasized the importance of the source code, which acts as the 'brain' for automated counting machines, ensuring accurate operation on election day. The extension allows for a more comprehensive review of the systems and source codes, particularly as the current versions are not yet the final, secure builds.
Comelec chairperson George Garcia demonstrates how an automated counting machine works during a voter education lecture in Quezon City on Nov. 23, 2024. The Commission on Elections has extended the ongoing review of local source code s for the 2025 national and local elections until January 2025.
Poll chairman George Garcia said the source code serves as the “brain” that will feed the automated counting machines to check if they will function accurately on the day of 2025 election day.“It feeds the machines on what they will do, how they will perform, how they will count and how they will transmit,” Garcia said.
The local source code review committee was asked for an extension to allow a more thorough review of the systems and source codes to be used during the 2025 NLE. LSCR committee chief and spokesperson John Rex Laudiangco said the extension is necessary as the “source codes currently being reviewed are not yet the secured versions of the systems intended for the final trusted build.
The review is meant to ensure that the 110,000 machines, including the contingencies, will perform accurately, the poll chief added.
