Accredited citizen’s arms groups Parish Pastoral Council for Responsible Voting (PPCRV) and National Citizens’ Movement For Free Elections (NAMFREL), and civil society organization Legal Network For Truthful Elections (LENTE) were present to observe today’s second batch delivery.

To date, a running total of more than 24,000 ACMs have been delivered to COMELEC, which is set to be fully completed by end of this year for a total of 110,000 ACMs. Delivery of Satellite Internet Communication Devices by the Transmission Services provider is likewise continuous.

On the other hand, Miru has fulfilled 100% of the delivery of servers, printers, CCS laptops, plastic kit boxes and plastic seals that will be used in the canvassing of votes.

Deliveries have yet to be accepted until each hardware item had passed the Hardware Acceptance Test (HAT) which will commence on September 11, 2024.
