Various vote counting machines (VCM) broke down in numerous Nueva Ecija precincts
causing delay, frustration, and confusion among the voters in queue.
Improper insertion and simple machine glitches were the most reported causes of the breakdown of the VCMs. Among the precincts with broken VCMs include Central Elementary School in Bongabon, Nueva Ecija, Santor Elementary School in Bongabon, Nueva Ecija, and San Francisco Elementary School in San Antonio, Nueva Ecija.
The Board of Election Inspectors immediately responded to these reports and have fixed the said broken VCMs within the hour of its report. (Christine Keith B. Tercias)
