Filipinos in HK, Singapore vote in automated polls

HONG KONG – (UPDATE) Filipinos based here and in Singapore began voting today, Saturday, for candidates running for national positions in the Philippines and took a first crack at the automated polls.

And so far, voting has been ongoing without a glitch as the Precinct Count Optical Scan (PCOS) machines were “running well,” said Cesar Flores, president of Smartmatic Asia, provider of the PCOS equipment.

There are 22 PCOS machines at the Bayanihan Kennedy town Center to accommodate 96,000 registered voters here during the month-long voting process. There are 31,000 voters in Singapore, which will also conduct electronic balloting.

At the end of the day, the machines will print out an initial election return, which will be recorded by the Special Board of Election Inspectors.

Flores assured the public that the machines were secured in the center. The SBEIs will also print a document before the start of the voting period each day to show that there were no changes made in the data inside the machines during the night.

Many of the voters here, who waited in line at the center before the precincts opened at 8:30 a.m., brought lists of their candidates for president, vice-president, 12 senators, and partylist representatives to make the process of casting their ballots faster.

Before voting began, the Board of Election Inspectors showed the sealed PCOS machines to the people.

Rowena dela Cruz was the earliest voter, having camped out at the center since Friday afternoon. “Even though I'm a migrant, I'm happy that I was able to vote,” she said.

Consulate officials in Hong Kong said they expected more voters to turn up tomorrow, Sunday, the usual day-off of migrant workers in this island-state.

There are about 589,000 registered Filipino voters worldwide.

In other countries, registered migrant voters either have to personally cast their ballots at the nearest embassy or accomplish and mail in the ballot packets sent by the government posts abroad.
