Under Fully Automated System with Transparency Audit and Count (FASTrAC), Garcia said voters will be allowed to verify their votes through ballot images on automated counting machines while watchers and political camps will be allowed to take pictures of election returns after its transmission.
“Makikita ng botante ang balota na kanyang hinulog back and [front] yung mismong ballot image,” Garcia said in an interview on Dobol B TV when asked about the new security features of the proposed AES.
Apart from this, Garcia said citizens’ arms and political groups will automatically receive a copy of the election returns—a mechanism which he said was non-existent in the automated election system since it was implemented in 2010. “So ‘yung mga entities na ‘yan ay pwedeng magkumparahan kung ano ba ang pinadala ng presinto na ito ay same na pinadala sa lahat,” he added.
