Constitutionality of the elections Many concerned civil society groups including the Center for People Empowerment in Governance (CenPEG), Philippine Computer Society (PCS), and Global Filipino Nation (GFN) protested the illegality and unconstitutionality of how the elections were conducted, particularly with implementing safety measures against fraud and cheating. In an interim report by GFN 2010 Election Observers Team released on May 27 titled "Foreign Observers Challenge Election Legitimacy", they presented arguments questioning the May 10, 2010 elections summarized below: The election results transmitted from the precincts do not have digital signatures of the Board of Election Inspectors (BEI) The number of disenfranchised voters is sufficient to greatly affect the results of the elections. The Automated Election System (AES) was implemented without the appropriate field testing, and law-specified testing in actual elections. The source code review was not completed and initial findings were not addressed. No audit was done on the AES prior to the elections. There was only a mandated random manual audit which was not yet done at the time the report was written (May 27, 2010). Several voter and security features were disabled prior to elections. Many different groups also echoed the same sentiments like Kaakbay Partylist in its critique of the May 10, 2010 polls.http://www.tribuneonline.org/commentary/20100610com6.html The Daily Tribune <<< Without Fear or Favor >>> July 5, 2010 live https://web.archive.org/web/20100613165452/http://www.tribuneonline.org/commentary/20100610com6.html June 13, 2010 They also questioned the removal of digital signatures Removal of digital signatures While Republic Act 9369 states that "The election returns transmitted electronically and digitally signed shall be considered as official election results and shall be used as the basis for the canvassing of votes and the proclamation of a candidate.",http://www.chanrobles.com/republicactno9369.html R.A. 9369 – AN ACT AMENDING REPUBLIC ACT NO. 8436, ENTITLED AN ACT AUTHORIZING THE COMMISSION ON ELECTIONS TO USE AN AUTOMATED ELECTION SYSTEM IN THE MAY 11, 1998 NATIONAL OR LOCAL ELECTIONS AND IN SUBSEQUENT NATIONAL AND LOCAL ELECTORAL EXERCISES, TO ENCOURAGE TRANSPARENCY, CREDIBILITY, FAIRNESS AND ACCURACY OF ELECTIONS, AMENDING FOR THE PURPOSE BATAS PAMPANSA BLG. 881, AS AMEMDED, REPUBLIC ACT NO. 7166 AND OTHER RELATED ELECTIONS LAWS, PROVIDING FUNDS THEREFOR AND FOR OTHER PURPOSES www.chanrobles.com live https://web.archive.org/web/20100511044804/http://www.chanrobles.com/republicactno9369.html May 11, 2010 the Commission on Elections (COMELEC) issued Resolution 8786 on March 4, 2010, which became the basis for the decision to remove digital signatures which the COMELEC ruled as no longer necessary. Three Board of Election Inspectors (BEIs) were originally required to put in their iButton Key for the results to be digitally signed before transmission and make it official. But because of the issuance of COMELEC Resolution 8786, BEIs were directed to press "No" when asked by the PCOS machines to digitally sign the files for transmission.http://newsinfo.inquirer.net/inquirerheadlines/nation/view/20100525-271890/Digital-signatures-built-in-say-poll-officials Digital signatures built-in, say poll officials – INQUIRER.net, Philippine News for Filipinos July 5, 2010 dead https://web.archive.org/web/20100528165255/http://newsinfo.inquirer.net/inquirerheadlines/nation/view/20100525-271890/Digital-signatures-built-in-say-poll-officials May 28, 2010 In the joint committee meeting at Batasang Pambansa, Senator Enrile asked the COMELEC officials why they removed the use of the digital signatures. Cesar Flores, Smartmatic Asia Pacific president, said “The voting machine has a digital signature in itself which is also corroborated in the card and the password that is provided to the BEIs. The BEIs when they sign the password, they encrypt the result, and the result is digitally signed.” (Sic) http://www.manilastandardtoday.com/insideNation.htm?f=2010/may/28/nation2.isx&d=2010/may/28 February 2022 Kaakbay Partylist released its critique of the election on June 6, 2010. The group cited complaints regarding the removal of main security features and verifiability of votes and also answered the arguments of those given by the COMELEC officials: "On March 4, 2010, Comelec issued Resolution 8786 dated March 4, 2010, essentially disabling the use of digital signatures. Thus, the electronically transmitted votes from the precincts no longer bear digital signatures. Several excuses were given by Comelec ranging from PCOS machine signatures being equivalent to digital signature (which of course is not true); use of digital signature will require another P1 billion (as if digital feature is not included in the P7.1-billion contract); reducing transmission time (how less than one minute signing digitally will reduce much a transmission of about 30 to 60 minutes?); and the PCOS i-button and BEI Personal Identification Numbers (PINs) are equivalents (of course, not)".

Election Day had live full coverage from GMA Network and ABS-CBN. Besides logistical problems, during the last few days prior to the election poll machine and services supplier Smartmatic-Total Information Management (TIM) found cases of PCOS machine failures. Nonetheless, it was decided not to postpone elections since the technical issues were resolved quickly and the solution could be deployed by the day of election. Despite the fact that some provinces reported issues in the election process, these did not surpass the 0.50% of the total number of PCOS machines, and most were replaced on time, as planned for. As a result of the delays, the COMELEC extended voting hours from 6:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. and continued through the night transmitting the votes from every precinct scattered across the country. After the elections closed and transmissions from PCOS machines began arriving en masse and the COMELEC was able to publish the first partial results, many former doubts and concerns vanished, replaced by astonishment due to the unprecedented speed of the tally.http://newsinfo.inquirer.net/inquirerheadlines/nation/view/20100512-269508/Fast-count-stuns-nation Inquirer.Net: Fast count stuns nation inquirer.net dead https://web.archive.org/web/20100514154710/http://newsinfo.inquirer.net/inquirerheadlines/nation/view/20100512-269508/Fast-count-stuns-nation May 14, 2010 May 12, 2010 President thumb|250px|Presidential election results. 2010 Philippine presidential election The presidential candidate with the greatest number of votes, Benigno Aquino III was declared the winner.

I had the privilege of observing the electoral process in both Cavite and Batangas and was impressed by the manner in which this first nationwide automated election was conducted. Despite the intense heat, the long lines and the inevitable unfamiliarity of a new process, our observations suggested that this process was carried out smoothly, and the results transmitted rapidly, in the great majority of cases. MacDonald also expressed that the EU was impressed for the elections being "smooth” and “generally trouble-free.” He also appreciated the teacher's hard work for the said elections.
