8. System-wide Under the Terms of Reference for the AES bidders, COMELEC
vote counters requires all AES machines to be cleared or zeroed out to
set to zero show that there are no entries/votes in the PCOS memory.

For greater transparency and trustworthiness of the whole
system, will there also be a zeroing out of vote counts,

SOV, and COC at the municipal CCS, provincial CCS,
national COMELEC CCS, and national congressional CCS?

Will the zeroing out at the national level be the result of
the transmission of the zeroing out of PCOS machines?
(This is also to test the transmission from the precinct

level to the national level)
9. Deployment More than 80,000 machines will be deployed to the various
of machines clustered precincts. The compact flash (CF) cards for the PCOS
machines are specific to the assigned clustered precincts.

Action points: Request for an update on the deployment
plans and logistics arrangements for the delivery of the

machines and their components (e.g., CR cards) to their
assigned locations in a correct and timely manner. Have
the following identified:

• Warehouse hubs
• Final delivery points
• Various modes of transportation from warehouse
hubs to final delivery points
• Deployment schedules

Also, request for an update on the contingency plans
for responding to problems of errors in delivery and
damage to machines.
