The spokesperson of the Commission of Election (Comelec) said today that the result of the very first automated presidential election in the Philippines will be known within 3 days after the election. This statement was release after business groups said they feared the automated system would fail.
The Management Association of the Philippines release a statement last Wednesday urging the Comelec to adapt a parallel nationwide manual count for the president and vice president to “mitigate, if not eliminate, the skepticism of many about the credibility of the automated election system and the results that it will deliver.”

Under the constitution, the Senate and the House of Representatives must convene not later than 30 days after the elections to officially count votes for the president and vice president and proclaim the winners.
Voters also will be electing senators, congressmen, provincial, city and municipal officials on May 10. These votes will also be counted using the automated system.
