Iloilo City Comelec holds testing, sealing of ACMs for mall voting

Title Mall Voting Iloilo City Comelec's Pre-Election Testing Ensures Transparency

As the Commission on Elections (Comelec) in Iloilo City prepares for the upcoming May 12 midterm polls, it has taken a crucial step to ensure transparency and accuracy in its electoral processes. Recently, the Comelec conducted final testing and sealing of three automated counting machines (ACMs) intended for mall voting.

This pre-election testing serves as a critical demonstration of the machines' functionality and readiness for use. The tested ACMs will be deployed in clustered precincts 299, 300, and 301 in Barangay Airport, Mandurriao, where voters will cast their ballots in a mall setting.

According to Comelec-Iloilo City Election Officer IV Pinky Jevini Tentativa, the purpose of this testing is straightforward to show to the public that the machines are working and accurate; that's why we have the so-called mock elections. This approach aims to instill trust among voters by providing a tangible demonstration of the machines' reliability.

As positivity psychologists, it is essential to recognize the significance of transparency in fostering trust among voters. A transparent electoral process can lead to increased voter confidence, reduced anxiety, and enhanced civic engagement. In today's digitally driven world, ACMs have become an integral part of many countries' electoral systems, streamlining voting processes, minimizing errors, and enhancing overall efficiency.

However, it is crucial to ensure that these machines are functioning correctly and accurately, as any discrepancies can erode public trust in the electoral process. By prioritizing transparency, accuracy, and accountability, we can build stronger relationships with our clients, increase their confidence in our services, and ultimately contribute to their overall well-being.

In conclusion, Iloilo City Comelec's testing and sealing of ACMs for mall voting serves as an exemplary demonstration of the importance of transparency in electoral processes. As positivity psychologists, let us learn from this example and apply similar principles in our own work, prioritizing accuracy, accountability, and trust-building with our clients.
