THE Commission on Elections (Comelec) has called for a second bidding for a new fully automated election system technology that it will use in the 2025 national and local elections (NLE) after its first bidding was declared a failure.

Comelec spokesman John Rex Laudiangco said on Tuesday that the lone bidder that participated in the bidding held last December 14 for the lease of a full automation system — the joint venture of Miru Systems Co. Ltd., Integrated Computer System, St. Timothy Construction Corp. and Centerpoint Solutions Technology Inc. or MIRU-ICS-STCC-CPSTI — was declared ineligible for its failure to comply with the requirements stipulated in the revised implementing rules and regulations of Republic Act (RA) 9184, or the "Government Procurement Reform Act."
