"Our hope is that this August, they would deliver more or less an initial 20,000 units," he said in a radio interview, referring to South Korean firm Miru Systems.
Garcia said the Comelec's preparations for next year's elections are now at full speed.
He said Miru's customization of the counting machines began two weeks ago.
Before the end of the year, Miru is expected to complete the delivery of the 110,000 automated machines, according to Garcia.
He clarified that the poll body is just leasing the VCMs.
