NAMFREL Executive
Summary
Terminal Report
July 2, 2010 |
Overview
Nothwithstanding the
results of the May 2010
elections with respect
to the National
Elections, NAMFREL
believes that the
automated election
system employed by the
Commission on Elections
and provided by
Smartmatic is in serious
need of review and
remedial measures before
it is to be used for
future elections. While
the system counted
ballots with
considerable speed, it
nonetheless lacked
sufficient methods for
tracing and auditing the
entire processes which
would have been
necessary had any
problems arisen which
were material to the
results of the counting
or the canvassing.

NAMFREL Urges COMELEC to
Finish Count
May 19, 2010
|
|
The National Citizens'
Movement for Free
Elections (NAMFREL)
expresses its concern
over the slowdown of the
vote count and urges the
COMELEC to complete the
count. The count has
been at a virtual
standstill at slightly
over 90% of the Election
Returns tabulated by
COMELEC and PPCRV
servers, up marginally
from 89% last Wednesday,
May 12. The remaining
Election Returns
represent 7,500 PCOS
machines and an
estimated 4.9 million
votes. The 7,500 PCOS
machines have not
transmitted results or
have bogged down in its
operations.

Ensuring Fair
Elections on May 10 |
 |
The National
Citizens' Movement
for Free Elections
believes that
national elections
must be held on May
10, 2010 under an
automated election
system that contains
the proper
safeguards and is
backed up by
sufficient manual
systems which can be
used where there are
instances of a
breakdown or failure
of the automated
system.

You cannot kill
the NAMFREL Spirit |
 |
You can deny us,
but you can't
make us go away.
For as long as
the people seek
truly free and
fair elections,
the light of
NAMFREL shall
burn brightly.
Last week, the
COMELEC
unanimously
decided to deny
NAMFREL, in
partnership with
the |
|
CBCP-NASSA,
accreditation
for the May 10,
2010 elections.
