Abstract:

Manual voting is the traditional way of conducting an election here in the Philippines but due to election fraud and slow results, poll automation system is seen as a better way of obtaining an efficient, effective and secured election. In order for Filipinos to understand the issue there is a need to discuss manual voting system and identify its disadvantages and the reasons on why this kind of system should be replaced by poll automation system. Identifying poll automation features would make them realize its relevance in avoiding massive election fraud.
