THE Commission on Elections must start purging the voters list in preparation for the 2025 elections, the head of the National Citizens' Movement for Free Elections said.Guesting at SMNI's 'Business and Politics' hosted by The Manila Times Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Dante Francis 'Klink' Ang 2nd, Namfrel Chairman Lito Averia Jr. said the Comelec must focus on cleaning up the list instead of determining whether the voting process should be automated or manual.
Blockchain technology allows transactional records of the public to be stored in a network of databases or 'digital ledger' connected by peer-to-peer nodes.'We have to clean up the voters list, that's the first one. Second is we need to come up with mechanisms to teach the public on how to create their self-sovereign IDs,' Averia said.He said that the mechanism will establish a system of verifying the profile of a voter.
