[...] A bit of interesting news from Erwin Oliva (CyberBaguioBoy) about the Comelec approving in “principle” a plan to would allow Filipinos overseas to vote via the Internet. To approve in principle means that, at present or for now, the Comelec is leaning to yes for the Internet voting. The plan has a long road to travel before it can even get started. Provided that it is a relatively (i) reliable and (ii) secure system for voting it would be a welcome innovation to voting in the Philippines. And if it were to be implemented properly and again more than adequate safeguards be put in place hopefully it would be expanded to local and national voting as well. A lot of ifs in the plan I know but a welcome development if it were successfully done. Here is Erwin’s article about the plan: Comelec approves ‘in principle’ Internet voting–spokesman by Erwin Oliva January 16, 2007 Updated 17:13:44 (Mla time) INQUIRER.net http://services.inquirer.net/express/07/01/16/html_output/xmlhtml/20070116-43770-xml.html [...]

very they say. If you would follow the link to INQUIRER.net, the story says, and I quote:

“The Internet voting system uses 2,040 bits of encryption to secure data, while digital certificates are used to secure votes and authenticate voters. People can vote from a PC connected to an Internet, or from PC terminal set up within a Philippine embassy abroad.”
