On the whole, the May 13, 2013 National, Local, and ARMMelections went smoothly, albeit not without some issues whichcontributed to a certain degree of apprehension, particularlyamong stakeholders. All those issues were quickly resolved andultimately had no significant effect on the election processes.Thus, on the whole, the outcome of the elections has been widely

considered credible and acceptable to general public.

With these elections, the COMELEC has demonstrated that it iswell advanced in the process of consolidating the technicalknowledge gained from the 2010 National and Local Elections, and

weaning the country away from reliance on foreign expertise.

THE AUTOMATED ELECTION SYSTEM

The COMELEC recommends that a comprehensive review ofRepublic Act 9369 be undertaken to revisit the multi-tieredcanvassing system, and consider the establishment of a singlestage system where precinct results are canvassed andconsolidated directly at the level of the National Board ofCanvassers. This will greatly speed up the reporting of election

results, as well as minimize confusion arising from speculation asto the contents of delayed canvass reports.

A comprehensive review of the Automation Law may alsoallow the re-evaluation of some provisions, such as Section 6(n),

which calls for the provision of a system of verification to find outwhether or not the machine has registered (the voters) choice, inview of the Supreme Courts ruling on the sufficiency of paperballots for such purpose.

ELECTION ADMINISTRATION

The COMELEC likewise recommends revisiting Republic Act9006, or the Fair Election Act, for the following purposes, amongothers:

1. Scrapping of fixed spending limits, in favour of a moreequitable means of setting a cap on campaignexpenditures;

2. Inclusion of rules governing all aspects of on-linecampaigning; and3. Clarification of the rule on broadcast time limits.4. Extension of the Liquor Ban

The COMELEC also recommends that pilot testing of an on-linevoting system be approved for Overseas Voting, as this will makethe process easier for overseas Filipinos, particularly seafarers whocomprise almost 3% of the overseas voting population.

ELECTION ADMINISTRATION

The COMELEC proposes the following legislation:

1. The Money Ban A measure intended to curb the practiceof vote-buying by prohibiting the unjustifiable withdrawal ofcertain sums of money, or the actual possession of certainamounts of cash, in the period immediately preceding Election

Day.

2. The Candidate Bond A measure intended to discouragenuisance filings by requiring candidates for national positions,i,.e., President, Vice-President, and Senator, to post a cash

bond upon the filing of their Certificates of Candidacy. Thereturn of the bond will be contingent on the candidategarnering a certain percentage of the votes cast for theposition to which he is aspiring.
