Application of Election Technology: Considerations for Election Administrators, Practitioners and Policy Makers


When election administration practitioners and policy makers examine the practical
interests of improving election processes and administrative procedures, invariably the
issue of technological enhancements must be considered. The introduction of various
technological systems has been widely adopted by most election bodies throughout the
world. Indeed election processes have benefited greatly from the widespread adoption of
technological platforms to enhance election administration in areas such as voter registry
management, electoral district demarcation, results and tabulation transmission and
reporting and electronic voting systems.

Best Practices and Pitfalls in the Procurement of New Technologies for Elections


Administration of elections is a complex business. Most senior administrators, whether
they are elected officials, politically appointed or employed as civil servants, come
from other fields with little or no specific election experience. Many are lawyers or
judges; others are employees of government offices responsible for civil registries, tax
records, or vital statistics. Still others are politically prominent citizens nominated by
political parties to serve on election commissions activated during election cycles.
Most of them become “election professionals” through actual experience on the job.
As all election officials learn, the picture is never static.

Briefing Paper on Republic Act No. 9369 and the Automated Election System


On January 23, 2007, less than four months
before the May 14, 2007 congressional and
local elections, President Gloria MacapagalArroyo
signed into law Republic Act (RA) No.
9369. This law amended and repealed almost
all of RA 8436', a 1997 law that authorized
the conduct of an automated election.
Questions were raised as to whether the May
2007 elections would be automated. But the
Commission on Elections (COM ELEC)
declared that it was not possible to conduct
an automated election as there was not
enough time to prepare for it.
