MANILA – Election watchdog group Automated Election System Watch on Saturday denounced what it considers the arbitrary and premature proclamation of winning candidates, as it asserted the conduct of the midterm 2013 polls was worse than the previous elections in 2010, the first automated elections.
“By making arbitrary and highly irregular decisions during canvassing, and proclaiming presumed winning candidates prematurely, the Comelec has turned the second automated elections from bad to worse – a technology and political disaster,” AES Watch said in a statement on Saturday.

International observers earlier lamented that political dynasties were still common in the country.
