Two ACMs also malfunctioned in Barangays Subangdaku and Cabancalan in Mandaue City, but was repaired immediately.

A similar issue occurred in Lapu-Lapu City due to wet ink or paper jams, but these were also promptly resolved.
In Barangay Malubog, Cebu City, the ACM malfunctioned repeatedly, and no accessible polling area was provided for persons with disabilities (PWDs) and elderly voters.
"After awhile ayu-ayuhon sa DESO-technical staff, maayo na pud. But luoy kayo ang situation kay daghang voters didto sa holding area. Sikit kayo, full house. The voters' turn out is very very good, pero langay kayo...init kaayo ang mga rooms. Ang hagdanan, very steep walay accessible polling place," said Gloria Cuico of C-CIMPEL/PPCRV, a non-partisan election watchdog group.
Cuico also raised concerns over disenfranchisement in Lahug Elementary School, where voter names were missing from the Posted Computerized Voters List (PCVL).
"There were many voters sa Lahug Elementary School nga naa ilang names sa computerized voters list nga naa namo sa among Voting Assistance Center pag-abot sa precinct gyud wala so meaning sa PCVL wala didto ilang name..So how can they vote if wala didto ilang name?" she said.
She emphasized that their list came directly from Comelec. "So dili kaayo katuhuan nga mawa sila sa PCVL. This is not isolated, daghan-daghan gyud siya."
Cuico added that she reached out to an election officer who advised voters to go to Comelec for verification. "Most of them said they won't go to Comelec anymore this being an added hassle for them while others are apprehensive if they will also be entertained."
Comelec Cebu City Election Officer Atty. Ferdinand Gujilde clarified that precinct reshuffling may have caused the confusion.
