Comelec OKs testing of automated polls for 2023 in 3 pilot areas

The Automated Elections System (AES) will be tested in three separate villages for the 2023 Village and Youth Council Elections, according to the Commission on Elections (Comelec) (BSKE).

The automation was approved by Comelec during a meeting on February 15th.

On October 30, 2023, the BSKE pilot testing will take place in two villages—one each in Pasong Tamo, Quezon City, and Dasmarias City, Cavite.


The filing of COCs will be earlier due to the need to print the names of the candidates in the machine-readable official ballots, Comelec spokesperson John Rex Laudiangco told reporters via Viber. "In view of this limited pilot testing of the AES in the BSKE in the specified barangays in Dasmarias City and Quezon City," he added.


"The election term shall stay the same, with the said period of COC filing in the pilot tested barangays, as well as the other periods (deployment, FTS, etc.) inherent to the installation of an automated elections system," he continued.


In three barangays, up to 84,100 and 27,818 registered voters may cast ballots for barangay and SK officials. The House Committee on Suffrage and Electoral Reforms reached a decision on it during a meeting that day, February 7.
