Meanwhile, most Filipino adults or 89 percent are satisfied with the automated voting system, which Pulse Asia said is the predominant sentiment in every area and class.

The rest of respondents are either dissatisfied with the automated voting system (4%) or are ambivalent on the matter, which is 7 percent.

The survey also found that nearly all Filipino adults who participated in the 2022 elections considered it easy using the vote counting machines.

Pulse Asia said the faster release of electoral results was the most often cited primary benefit of the automation of elections in the country.

A huge majority of Filipino adults or 89 percent are in favor of using the automated voting system in future elections, the pollster said.

Pulse Asia said the poll, which was conducted using face-to-face interviews among 1,200 respondents, had a ±2.8 percent error margin at the 95 percent confidence level.
