In a COMMprehensive presentation by COMELEC, representatives from the agency outlined the particulars for the election, namely, the various critical dates for voters and candidates alike, which will run from January 12 to June 11, 2025. ๐Ÿ“…

The lecturers shared that the polling hours would be from seven in the morning to seven in the evening, with early voting hours starting as early as 5 AM and concluding at 7 PM. This adjustment was made to facilitate the participation of registrants from vulnerable sectors to ensure that all eligible citizens have the opportunity to cast their ballots. Participants were also advised to avoid over-voting and protect their ballots by using secrecy folders. ๐Ÿ—‚๏ธ

Several modifications implemented in assembling the Automated Counting Machine (ACM) were introduced ensuingly, such as its inclusion of headsets for those with hearing impairments. Additionally, the ballot design was altered to be thinner for easier feeding into machines, accompanied by a marking pen and barcodes for readability. ๐Ÿงพ๐Ÿ–Š๏ธ

Students also took up the chance to forward their queries regarding the electoral process and the rationale behind the updated salient features of the machine.
