Automation in the Philippine 2010 elections involves only the tabulation of votes, not the actual casting of votes.

• Voters will be given pre-printed ballots
• Voters will mark their preferred candidates by shading the circles under the names of their choice.
• Ballots are then fed into a voting district counting machine
• Votes are automatically tallied and forwarded to municipal and national servers
• The counting machines will transmit election returns encrypted, and will print out eight copies for the various political parties and voting watchdogs to cross-check manually.
