Digital vote fraud
The Philippine Star|June 16, 2021
Even with the country still battling the COVID-19 pandemic, national attention is now being diverted to politics. With the 2022 general elections just a year away, plans are being drawn up for the fast-approaching campaign. The Commission on Elections is trying to get more new voters to register and readying the voting machines.
Digital vote fraud

The Philippine National Police, which is tasked to keep the campaign and voting safe, has another concern: digital forms of election fraud, notably vote-buying. The COVID pandemic has made cashless transactions more widespread. In previous elections, usually upon the complaint of offended parties, the PNP could pounce on persons who distribute cash or other items to buy votes. Cash was preferred because it left no paper trail.
