The Commission on Elections tallies a better voter turnout in its second simulation for internet voting, this time using Smartmatic’s web-based platform – the same firm behind the country’s automated election system since 2010. TheFilipinoVotes

Voting was done through Smartmatic's TIVI website, which may be accessed on any web browser or smartphone.

"We believe that including less tools between the voter and the electoral system is the best approach. That is why we worked in a web application," Smartmatic product manager Armando Torres Chong said in a Monday briefing."In that way, we ensure that it’s the same voting experience while using any of the devices."

"Whether or not a purely browser-based approach is something that would be better or something we would recommend in Congress, is still too early to say at this point," Comelec Office for Overseas Voting director Bea Wee-Lozada said.
