Smartmatic eyes COMELEC's 'other services' for 2013 elections
Smartmatic Asia Pacific President Cesar Flores said that his company intends to participate in the bidding for the Commission on Elections' "various services". Among the services up for bidding are warehouse leasing, technical support personnel, ballots and ballot boxes, materials deployment, and electronic transmission services. âAbsolutely weâll be joining. I think on all of them, logistics, ballot paper, printing of the ballots etc.," said Flores. In March, the Comelec en banc voted 5-2 to again purchase Smartmaticâs Precinct Count Optical Scan, or PCOS, machines for the upcoming polls.
