The Philippines Goes to the Polls
On May 10, 2010 Filipinos went to the polls to cast ballots for president, vice-president, senators, congressmen, governors, mayors and other key offices in their national and local election. For the first time ever, Precinct Count Optical Scan (PCOS) machines were used nation-wide. These images, taken by John Lawrence, IFES congressional affairs manager, provide a glimpse into the preparations for Election Day and the polling day itself in the Manila metropolitan area.

The Philippines Registers for Local Elections
Following the presidential and legislative elections held in May, the Philippines will hold local elections on October 25, 2010. In these elections, Filipinos will vote for Barangay (village) and SK (youth council) representatives. Registration for these elections took place in August throughout the country. During the registration process, the registrants’ digital photo, thumbprints and digital signature are taken by the data-capturing machines or “DCMs”. The thumbprints are later used to conduct an automated fingerprint identification system (AFIS) to find matches or “duplicate registrants” in order to avoid having voters cast more than two ballots on Election Day. These images capture the registration process in the Manila metropolitan area.
