2016 automated election system (AES)
The May 2016 election is the country's third automated polls after the 2010 (presidential) and 2013 (senatorial) polls.
When voting close on Monday, the vote counting machines (VCMs) transmit the vote counts – also known as election returns or ERs – to the different servers and canvassing centers in the AES.
From the VCMs, the election returns (ERs) are transmitted to the central server, to a transparency server, and to the municipal board of canvassers (MBOC).
From the MBOC, the results are transmitted to the provincial board of canvassers (PBOC), where the results are collated and then transmitted to the national board of canvassers (NBOC), where the results for national positions are canvassed.
The MBOC and PBOC also separately beam ERs to the central server.
