Sen. Grace Poe's questions during a hearing
of the committee on electoral reforms

Sen. Grace Poe: Our focus is to ensure that our elections are free from fraud and that we are prepared for the 2016 and the succeeding elections. Where are we now in terms of choosing the equipment or the machine for the upcoming elections? It is in our Constitution that it has to be automated. Number two, the prescriptive period, as mentioned, we should also discuss that. Let's look at our laws so that those who committed the crimes will be held liable. And number three, how can we help here in the Senate to make sure that we are prepared for the 2016 polls, and to update the nine million voters who haven't yet updated to biometrics. A clean and honest elections is justice enough for the Filipino electorate.
