Lack of AES Law implementing rules and regulations

THERE are gaps between what the Automated Election System (AES) Law, Republic Act 8436, as amended by RA 9369, and how it was implemented in the last five national and local elections (NLEs).

When an information technology professional thinks of automating, he thinks of workflow processes, rules, data, network topology, security, type of technology to use and organizational operational support, among others. He also thinks of logistics and how to implement the automated system.
