This is the first time we Filipino people do the Automated Voting System. Election results may be accomplished in just a few hours for the whole country because of this technology.
Transmission of Results
After the ERs are printed, the transmission cable is connected to the Precinct Count Optical Scan (PCOS) machine for the transmission of results from a particular precinct. The results are transmitted by the PCOS machines electronically to the City/Municipal Board of Canvassers (BOC) via canvassing/consolidation machines (CCMs), which will consolidate the results from all precincts within the city or municipality. Results will also be transmitted electronically to the Comelec central office. The same process will take place from the city or municipality to the province, then from the province to Congress and Comelec.*
As can be seen from this process, the PCOS machines will only be online during the transmission of results to minimize the window for hacking the system.*
