As many as 120,000 information technology experts will be tapped by the Commission on Elections and its private partners for the automation of the 2010 polls.
The automation process was under way and the hiring of workers had started, since the Supreme Court had refused to grant the petition of a citizens’ group for an injunction to stop the Comelec from signing the contract, officials said.
Of the required number of IT experts, the Comelec will hire around 80,000 as technical evaluators to help poll officers supervise the elections at the voting precincts, according to Commissioner Rene Sarmiento.
Another 40,000 workers will be enlisted by Smartmatic-Total Information Management, the consortium that won the poll automation contract, either as surveyors or machine installers or information officers. http://www.manilastandardtoday.com/?page=news3_july13_2009
