Internet is worldwide, it is public which many people uses it in order to communicate and make transaction along it. Internet has a great role in our society nowadays since most of us including children know how to use it. And as technology goes by the markets uses it.

Machine-Assisted Election Auditing

An election play an important role in the government since this is the way people chooses the persons who will lead the country. Since many of us know how in our government make the election procedure. This machine-assisted election auditing helps to easily count the votes of the people in minimum span of time. It is wonderful if our government adopt this machine since this machine helps the Comelec to lessen the money paid for the election officers. And lessen the “agawan ng balota” here in the Philippines; also monitors and broadcast the votes of the people easily. And minimize the “dayaan”.
