Cebu @ neoneo | January 27,2010  – Last night, 88db held its political arena seminar together with the COMELEC and SMARTMATIC. It tackles about how to use the PCOS (Precinct Count Optical Scan System) this May 2010.

Miguel Avila, Smartmatic – TM, demonstrated the steps on how to vote on the 2010 Presidential Election with the use of PCOS Machine:

1. After you have given the ballot, fill it up by shading the oval next to the names of the candidates you wish to vote for.  – you need not to write the names of your desired candidate because the ballot has their names already and the only thing you would do is to shade the oval.

2. When inserting your ballot into the counting machine, it won’t matter if you inserted the ballot bottom first or upside down, the machine will scan the pages and your ballot would fall down to the ballot box. – The voting machine is equivalent to 3 precinct which means 1 classroom is to 1 voting machine.

3. After the whole process, the counting machine will count all the votes cast and produce thirty copies of the election returns.

Note that some of the positions will require you to choose more than one candidate, so read the instructions carefully! DO NOT OVER-VOTE!
(If you vote for more than the maximum number allowed. Your votes for that position will not be counted.)
