Voting delayed due to defective PCOS machines

CANDABA - The casting of votes yesterday in several precints here was delayed to due to defective Precinct Count Optical Scan (PCOS) machines.

Among the affected clustered precincts are  Central Elementary School in Barangay Buas this town including precincts 0201A, 0202A, 0202B and 0203A.

The voters line up as early as six in the morning to cast their votes ahead  for them to avoid inconveniences due to influx of people who wanted to participate in the May 13 midterm elections. 

Despite technical problems on the PCOS machines, the voters cast their votes on time, although,  the final testing and sealing  start only at about 9:30am.

"Mahigit isang oras na kaming nakapila dito sa labas ng presinto hindi gumagalaw ang pila dahil ayaw tanggapin ng makina ang mga balota. Mukhang hindi lang dito ang problema ka kahit sa mga presinto sa ibang barangay mayroon din tulad nito,"  Eddie Laxamana, a voter here said.

The problem on PCOS machines also holds true in various precincts in various municipalities in the 4th district of the province.
