A Commission on Elections (Comelec) commissioner has promised a vote-counting process faster than that of the United States in the 2010 polls, but on two conditions.
Online news site The News Today reported commissioner Leonardo Leonida said they will need P11.3 billion for automation, and rebels should not bomb cell sites.
"By midnight, we will already know who won," he said, adding, chances are big that Congress would be able to pass a supplemental budget.
Once Congress passed the proposed appropriations, he said, the Comelec will proceed with the bidding for the automation system.
So far, he said the single major obstacle to the computerization of the country's voting system is there is no budget yet.
