MANILA, Philippines–The Commission on Information and Communications Technology (CICT) will begin its six-month evaluation to determine which technology the Commission on Elections (Comelec) will use for automating the 2010 presidential elections.
CICT chair Ray Anthony Roxas-Chua said eight vendors have been selected to test their solutions within the six-month period in selected areas nationwide.
“These vendors have solutions that use OMR (optical mark reader) and DRE (direct recording electronic) machines,” Roxas-Chua said during a meeting Wednesday with the IT Association of the Philippines (ITAP).
