Individuals queue for Voter registration outside the COMELEC office in Quezon City. Comelec Spokesperson James Jimenez announced that the Commission approved the resumption of voter registration from 8am to 5pm in areas under MECQ (September 6, 2021).

MANILA, Philippines — The Commission on Elections assured lawmakers on Friday that the polls are still secured even as the government’s cybersecurity center flagged a “breach” of the systems of Smartmatic, the company that has bagged the most contracts with the poll body.

 

Comelec Commissioner Marlon Casquejo told members of the Joint Congressional Oversight Committee on the Automated Election System that even if it were true that Smartmatic’s systems were compromised, it would not impact the elections as the poll body only provides them with publicly available data.

 

“In the event there are allegedly hacking incident in our provider, we are pretty much sure the election is still intact because we do not provide them any sensitive data information,” Casquejo said during the hearing.
