In the technical industry, I don’t think, that was a successful automated election. As we had monitored, the main bug is from CF cards. Some cards from provinces did not configure properly, and also with the signals of the telecom sites, we all know in provinces signals are down, because telecom companies, doesn’t have enough satellites to different parts of the country. It has been hard for them to transmit election returns in Visayas and Mindanao. It’s been a blow. Earlier, they should have over all dry run. and look for possible ways for problems that will occur, might as well make sure that atleast three sim cards were distributed in each SOP. Or they just have been tested the communications two – way before casting of votes. You have to wait for it until it is over to judge it technically. Remember planning, analyzing, designing, TESTING, implementation and maintenance. That’s the standard procedure in any IT project. How come, days had passed and election returns had not been transmitted yet? That’s the very crucial and very important part in any election because people can had speculations on their minds as to why could it happen. How couldn’t they predict that before? Successful end users is equals to successful project. So for me, it’s a thumbs down.
