- MyKodigo tool is seen to help voters during election day on May 9

- Voters can get a printable list of their chosen national and local candidates
An online tool, called MyKodigo, is seen to help voters during election day on Monday, May 9.
In an article written by Veronica Pulumbarit of GMA News, it was disclosed that GMA News Online’s MyKodigo tool will make it easier for voters to choose their candidates. The tool will allow them to get a printable list of their chosen national and local candidates.
With MyKodigo, users can fill up digital versions of actual ballots on the site by clicking on the names of their chosen candidates. Once they are done, they can print out a simple form that lists the names of their preferred candidates.
Depending on the number of candidates in their district, the kodigo or their personal list of candidates can be printed using one to two pages of 8.5” x 11” paper.
Based on Comelec guidelines, the tool was developed by GMA New Media Inc.
Michaela Agcaoili, Vice President for Web and Mobile Operations of NMI, noted that mobile phones and sample ballots from candidates or political parties are not allowed inside polling precincts on election day. Thus, having a printout of one’s chosen political bets can simplify the voting process.
“We are helping them vote faster with the MyKodigo tool. Ahead of time, they can already choose the candidates they want to vote for. Then they can bring the printout to the polling precincts on election day,” she said.
The tool can be accessed using desktop computers and mobile phones at www.gmanews.tv/mykodigo.
The Commission on Elections (Comelec) has been encouraging voters to bring to polling precincts on election day their own kodigo or personal list of the candidates they want to vote for. Note, though, that MyKodigo is not a Comelec project.
