MODERATORS set the tone of the Fight for Filipino Ingenuity towards Trusted Elections forum held last June 26, 2018 by reading from Comelec Advisory Council (CAC) Resolution No. 2017-002 dated August 4, 2017 with the title “Technology Recommendations on the 2019 National and Local Elections.” The CAC recommended that the Comelec provide opportunities for local election system developers and providers by addressing Section 12 of the Election Automation Law, or Republic Act 8436, as amended by Republic Act 9369. The said section of the law reads in part: “With respect to the May 10, 2010 election and succeeding electoral exercises, the system procured must have demonstrated capability and been successfully used in a prior electoral exercise here or abroad.”
