“Para din mas makatipid. ‘Yung ballpen, hindi ka na kailangan na antayin na baka matuyo, at least ito stamp na lang,” he noted.
Using a stamp will also eliminate shading concerns, which had been the main issue in some electoral protests, according to Garcia. “’Yung shade naging issue ‘yan eh, sa isang protesta, at sa ibang protesta dahil sa issue ng 50 percent, tuldok lang, ‘di ba? Talaga namang meron kasi tayong mga kababayan na natatakot shade-an, hindi nase-shade-an lahat.”
Mulling over the use stamp for the 2025 election is part of the Comelec’s effort to employ innovations in upcoming polls, Garcia stressed. He added that the Comelec is also working to increase the speed of scanning and use bigger screens for the vote counting machines, among others.
