There were a lot of apprehensions and some candidates formally requested that it be postponed but the May 10, 2010 elections pushed through as scheduled with the automated counting and the now famous PCOS.
The Commission on Elections COMELEC, implemented the automation of vote counting for the first time. This will speed up the tallying of votes and reduce the tensions whenever votes are being counted in the precint level.
At the heart of this automation is the precint count optical scan machines by Smartmatic. This machine is run by uclinux, an embedded linux using the 2.6 kernel. This operating system runs in ROM and helped in reducing the cost of automating the count. It is expected that the counting will be over within 48 hours of the precints closing.
