THE Board of Election Inspectors (BEIs) of the Commission on Elections held its “Final Test and Sealing” of the precinct count optical scan (PCOS) machines in Marikina, Makati and Parañaque precincts Thursday.

At Parang Elementary School in Marikina City, a mock election with 10 voters per cluster of precincts was held at the field test. After the printing of the election results, a manual count was conducted to check the accuracy of the PCOS machines. The manual count tallied with the results from the PCOS machines.

One of the 20 PCOS machines at the school malfunctioned while printing the elections results.

Below are the images from the final testing.
