We just had a national election in our country, it was our first time automated election, even though automated it took around 14 days to count the results. How about in your Country, how long does it take for the final results in a National election?

Even though it is the first automated election here I think the Comelec is having progress since they were able to proclaim senators just 2 days after the election. I think what's delaying the proclamation of our new president is our law which order the senate to do the canvassing for the national position. If we want a fast declaration, then let us change the way we count their votes the way we change our process of voting. With automated election, it must also come with automated counting for the senate.

Well, that progressed is actually delayed since the automation was enact a few years ago, took longer time in bidding, testing and stuff. i guess you can share that with the senate but i doubt they will listen to them.

Is it automated election or manual counting of votes.

Ours are counted manual, but they cannot even count properly, so what the hell will they do if it was automated? TATA.

Usually it's pretty quick unless the election is close. I know it was a couple of weeks at least before the 2001 presidential results were final.

Hello there, I don't know. we both lived in the same country but countries like United States had one of the first automated election and it was really fast. i envied them because they were almost accurate in the count unlike us when we are use to manual counting, cheatings and killings where everywhere

That's the way Philippines election goes eh, it takes time for the proclaimation of President and other elect officials. Last time it was 2 months before it will be proclaim. Now senators have been proclaimed early as two or three days that's good. But here in Canada only one day they will know who the winner is and proclaim right away.

That is fast, i would like to quote your reply and send it to our news bureau so that all my country men would know. Our election does not feel right. Automated but last for 14 days with public blackout during the counting.

As the days are fixed for the election dates from state to state and done in four five times and take nearly 15/20 days more to declare the result
