How was your first automated election?

Its my hardest eversince I casting my vote. Its takes me 5hrs. before I received that Congratulations note. Its very easy to cast a vote but very hard to get in. Very disorderly, no systematic process on how to handled many voters in small room.

My voting experience today went smoothly, because I went to the election precinct in our place very early, so I just waited for only 30minutes for my name to be called.I did not experience any troubles too when I put my ballot on the pcos machine, seconds later I received the CONGRATULATIONS note meaning it was casted successfully. Automated election is very easy, simple and no hassle if only the pcos machines won't encounter any troubles or malfunctions in all areas. I am very fortunate also that here in Davao, the weather is cold with scattered rain showers, so it is very okay if there's no electric fan in the precinct rooms.

The voting process was quick and easy but...the long, confusing and disorderly lines took away the excitement to take part in the first every automated elections! A lot of people grew impatient due to the long wait simply gave up and went home. I had to reprimand some people who were trying to cut the queue. I just could not stand seeing them vote ahead of all of us who were at the polling place 2 hours ahead of them. They were making a lot of excuses and stories to the PPCRV volunteer who confronted them and would not want to leave their "stolen" place in the queue even in the midst of shouts from the others who were waiting in line. They only left after being intimidated by a heavy, wrestler-like man who looked like ready to pick them up and carry them out of the polling place. They should be ashamed of themselves before Noynoy Aquino. He who would be our next president patiently waited in line for 4 hours before he was able to cast his vote!

Surprisingly, it went well for me, my mom and my brother. We went to our precinct at 12:30 and there were no people lining up. We immediately went inside and voted. I thought my ballot would be rejected because I accidentally made an unnecessary mark on it when I turned it over. But thank God my vote was successfully registered. Let's all hope that with this historical voting system, we will also have leaders that will leave positive marks in our country.

it was good. people are very cooperative. the machine was also good and the result of the votes are posted earlier because there wasn't any manual counting anymore.

it is kinda great.. despite the fact that it is my first time to vote, i havent encountered any problem... i like it.... i was able to vote for GIBO..... ahahahha

My voting today was also smooth. The PCOS did not reject my ballot even if some of the markings made by the pen could be seen on the other side of the page. This was my first concern, but it was accepted! I went to our polling place around 8:30 A.M. but because of the number of voters, I was able to vote around 1PM. Our PCOS I guess is one of those machines that was able to pass the quality mark because it did not fail. Our only complaint is that the place where our elections were held was small. Its a small multi-purpose hall, if you can call it, and could only accommodate a maximum of eight voters at one time. But I wish that all machines and precints had the same experience as I did.
