Though some of the issues were resolved, they did not fully address nor rectify the lapses made on the first day as the changes could not be immediately disseminated nor implemented in such a limited time. Second day merely registered a total turnout of around 18 percent, including the turnout during the first day. Preserving a democratic process SAKBAYAN acknowledges that the flaws in the electoral process are not addressed by simply changing how we cast our votes. Automated or manual, the legitimacy of the election as an expression of democracy should remain intact. It goes without saying that if the automated election fails to perform such requirements, it completely loses its purpose. We may still have doubts about the automated election but these apprehensions should give us more reason to vote and encourage our peers to do the same! Election irregularities must not prevent us from exercising our right. We should secure the maximum participation of our fellow Iskolars ng Bayan to bring back the legitimacy of the electoral process despite the flaws of automation. But we do not stop in voting. More importantly, we should practice vigilance and protect our votes from being tampered and compromised, whether such attempts are done deliberately or as a result of neglect or technical errors. The USC-CSC election is a hard-won fight. Its historical value, starting from the first election in 1978, should be preserved and passed on to other generations of Iskolars. Although this years automation must be a source of important lessons for the student institutions, we must not be complacent about its current status; we should instead struggle to make the electoral process work the best way we can.
