A first: Comelec to open to public 'source code' in 2025 polls

MANILA, Philippines: For the first time in the country's election history, the Commission on Elections (Comelec) will make available to the public the so-called 'source code,' the human readable version of the voting software program, for anyone to see and test the customized automatic counting machines (ACM) that will be used in the upcoming 2025 midterm polls.

Chairman George Erwin Garcia on Tuesday said that the joint venture of Miru Systems of South Korea has agreed to make the source code review to the public, leaving everything to the discretion of the Commission.
