THE Commission on Elections has unveiled new automated counting machines from a South Korean firm for the 2025 midterm elections, replacing the aging Smartmatic vote-counting machines used in previous polls. The poll body, led by Comelec Chairman George Garcia, showcased the new machines from Miru Systems during a demonstration at the Knowledge and Idea Center of Cebu Normal University on Friday, Oct. 25, 2024.“For the first time, this machine uses a hybridized system.

To ensure accountability, the Comelec separated the machine provider from the transmission service provider. Demonstration In his demonstration, Garcia said the ballot images, both front and back, will be scanned, captured, and displayed sequentially on a screen, revealing the votes for each candidate. Unlike the Smartmatic’s vote-counting machines, the new machine features a display screen with a minimum diagonal of 12 inches.
