In its bid to prepare voters on the upcoming 2010 “fully” automated national elections, the Commission on Elections (Comelec) is scheduled to launch on Wednesday (Oct. 28) a new website that aims to teach voters on the modern voting system.

The website – http://ehope2010.ph/ — is a revival of Comelec’s old voter education website bagongbotante.com, which was created in 2007.

According to Comelec’s Education and Information Department (COMELEC-EID), the new website will be publicly unveiled at 2 p.m. on Oct. 28 inside the office of  Comelec chairman Jose Melo, located at the 8th floor of the Palacio del Gobernador in Intramuros, Manila. 

Comelec commissioner Rene Sarmiento, along with Comelec EID director James Jimenez will lead the website’s public launching.

Besides encouraging the public to register for the May 2010 elections, Comelec aims educate voters by giving them a preview or demo on how to vote using the automated system of voting. The new website will provide online feeds that contain contents such as images and step by step instructions, guidelines, and other informative articles that viewers could browse and download.
