AFTER months of debate, the Commission on Elections has finally resolved to activate the on-screen verification (OSV) feature of vote-counting machines (VCMs) for the May 9 elections.
Voters will be allowed a maximum of 15 seconds to verify whether or not their choices are accurately read by the VCMs.
If there are discrepancies between the votes displayed on the screen and the voters’ intended choices, they have a choice to expel the ballot from the VCM and correct their votes back in the voting area.
