MOFTECH FINAL PROJECT
MOFTECH FINAL PROJECT: A RESEARCH PAPER ON THE
AUTOMATED ELECTION SYSTEMS FOR THE PHILIPPINES IN 2010
Each group is required to do a research and critical analysis of the Republic Act 9369 and the selected topic below.
Research Topic Selections
I. Comparative Evaluation of at least three countries that have conducted automated elections in the past five years. Include a web survey among Southeast Asian countries on how they conduct their elections.
II. Technology Scan of the PCOS (SAES 1800) machines. What are the features of the machine, what company will produce it, what other countries have used it, and how did Smartmatic came about with the basic design components of the machine. Include a profile of Smartmatic as an IT firm.
III. Process Simulation of the Traditional Voting (2004) and the Proposed Voting Scheme (2010). Using workflow diagrams, simulate the processes of Registration and Casting of Votes to the Submission of Votes to the Machines to the Closing session of the Voting—the old method, the 2004 elections and the proposed 2010 AES.
IV. Comprehensive Evaluation of the Canvassing of Votes, the 2004 and the proposed 2010 elections. Use workflow diagrams, data flow diagrams and/or design architecture to show the flow of canvassing and transmission. Include estimate of length of time of canvassing. Identify the weak spots/areas where cheating may take place and recommend measures how to avoid this undesirable incident.
