Former Caloocan representative Edgar “Egay” Erice has requested the Supreme Court to direct the Commission on Elections to utilize its existing inventory of 97,000 vote-counting machines in the 2025 polls.
Moreover, Erice pointed out that Comelec has a standing Service Contract with Smartmatic, which includes a warranty for free replacement parts, ensuring the continued functionality of the machines for multiple elections. “Our study of the Comelec’s TOR shows that the existing VCMs already satisfy 184 out of the 194 requirements for OMR,” Erice said, adding that the remaining 5% “still needs further study but none of these are related to the accuracy of results.”
