Briefing Paper on Republic Act No. 9369 and the Automated Election System
On January 23, 2007, less than four months
before the May 14, 2007 congressional and
local elections, President Gloria MacapagalArroyo
signed into law Republic Act (RA) No.
9369. This law amended and repealed almost
all of RA 8436', a 1997 law that authorized
the conduct of an automated election.
Questions were raised as to whether the May
2007 elections would be automated. But the
Commission on Elections (COM ELEC)
declared that it was not possible to conduct
an automated election as there was not
enough time to prepare for it.
