{{Politics of the Philippines}}
Elections for all positions in the Philippines above the barangay (except for Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao regional level) were held on May 10, 2010. The elected president is Benigno Aquino III, the 15th President of the Philippines, succeeding President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo who was barred from seeking re-election due to term restrictions. The successor of Vice-President Noli de Castro is Jejomar Binay, the 13th Vice President of the Philippines. The legislators elected in the 2010 elections joined the senators of the 2007 elections and comprised the 15th Congress of the Philippines.
The 2010 elections were administered by the Commission on Elections (COMELEC) in compliance with the Republic Act No. 9369,{{Cite web |url=http://www.senate.gov.ph/republic_acts/RA%209369.pdf |title=Republic Act No. 9369 |publisher=Congress of the Philippines |access-date=May 10, 2010 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100506031623/http://senate.gov.ph/republic_acts/ra%209369.pdf |archive-date=May 6, 2010 }} also known as the Amended Computerization Act of 2007. It was the first national, and second overall computerized election after the 2008 Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao regional election in the history of the Philippines. Although there were cases of precinct count optical scan (PCOS) machine failures, there was no postponement of elections since most technical issues were resolved by election day.{{Cite web |url=http://www.philstar.com/Article.aspx?articleId=573287&publicationSubCategoryId=65 |title=NCRPO, Comelec: All systems go for polls – the Philippine Star » News… |website=The Philippine STAR |archive-url=https://archive.today/20120910152712/http://www.philstar.com/Article.aspx?articleId=573287&publicationSubCategoryId=65 |archive-date=10 September 2012 |url-status=dead}} Despite the fact that some provinces have reported failure of elections, these have not surpassed the 0.50% of the total number of PCOS machines, and most were replaced on time.{{Cite web|url=http://www.gmanews.tv/story/190540/328-defective-poll-machines-detected-so-far-smartmatic|title=Over 400 defective poll machines found, replaced, Smartmatic says|website=gmanews.tv|url-status=live|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100512121712/http://www9.gmanews.tv/story/190540/328-defective-poll-machines-detected-so-far-smartmatic|archive-date=May 12, 2010}}
Local elections were held in all provinces, cities and municipalities for provincial governors, vice governors and board members, and city/municipal mayors, vice mayors and councilors.
There were more than 85,000 candidates for 17,000 national and local positions and it is believed that the youth had the swing vote in this election as 40% of voters are 18–35 and there are a potential 3 million first-time voters.{{Cite web|url=https://thediplomat.com/philippines-election-2010/special-features/continuity-or-change/|title=Continuity or Change?|website=the-diplomat.com|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100315035703/https://thediplomat.com/philippines-election-2010/special-features/continuity-or-change/|archive-date=March 15, 2010|access-date=March 12, 2010}}
Background
The current Philippine constitution allows a president to serve for only one six-year term; however, former president Gloria Macapagal Arroyo served for 9 years, 5 months, and 10 days (3,448 days) and 2 presidential terms because she took over the last three years of Joseph Estrada's administration when Estrada was ousted as the result of the Second EDSA Revolution. On May 10, 2004 Arroyo won the election and finished her full second 6-year term on June 30, 2010.

In a decision dated December 2, 2009, the Supreme Court ruled that appointive officials seeking positions in the elections do not need to resign from their posts, striking down Section 4(a) of COMELEC Resolution 8678, Section 13 of Republic Act 9369, and Section 66 of the Omnibus Election Code as unconstitutional, "for violating the equal protection clause and being too broad."{{Cite news |url=http://ph.news.yahoo.com/mb/20091202/tph-appointive-officials-running-in-poll-020e1c8.html |title=Appointive officials running in polls need not resign, Supreme Court rules |first=Charissa |last=Lao |work=Manila Bulletin |publisher=Yahoo!

= Party-switching =
As election day approached, several politicians switched political parties in order to gain votes and funding for the campaign. Many switches were controversial, with the ruling party Lakas Kampi CMD having the most defections, most of which went either to the Liberal Party or to the Nacionalista Party.
The politicians who switched parties after the start of the local campaign period are:
Furthermore, Luis "Chavit" Singson resigned from Lakas and endorsed a candidate aside from Gilberto Teodoro, but did not join another party. Singson endorsed Villar, then resigned from Lakas, but has not joined Villar's Nacionalista Party.{{Cite news|date=April 14, 2010 |first=Mario |last=Supnad |title=Chavit, Ilocos leaders leave Lakas for Villar |url=http://mb.com.ph/node/250086/chavit-iloco |work=Manila Bulletin |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120224153018/http://mb.com.ph/node/250086/chavit-iloco|archive-date=February 24, 2012|access-date=April 16, 2010}}
Controversies
{{Main|Controversies in the Philippine general election, 2010}}
Five days before the elections, petitions were made to postpone the elections due to technical malfunctions with the electronic voting machines.{{Citation needed|date=July 2021}} On May 7, 2010, the Supreme Court rejected the petitions, affirming the vote would go ahead as planned.{{Cite web |last=Pazzibugan |first=Dona |title=SC: It's all systems go; Court junks petitions to postpone polls |publisher=Philippine Daily Inquirer |date=May 8, 2010 |url=http://newsinfo.inquirer.net/inquirerheadlines/nation/view/20100508-268697/SC-Its-all-systems-go |access-date=May 8, 2010 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100510082042/http://newsinfo.inquirer.net/inquirerheadlines/nation/view/20100508-268697/SC-Its-all-systems-go |archive-date=May 10, 2010 }}
Several cities and provinces encountered several problems, postponing the election.
In Caloocan, voting was delayed as the box of ballots delivered to clustered precinct 599 in the city's Pajo district contained ballots for a clustered precinct in Sampaloc, Manila.{{Cite web|url=http://www.gmanews.tv/story/190534/glitches-cause-delays-in-first-automated-polls-nationwide|title=Glitches cause delays in first automated polls nationwide|website=gmanews.tv|url-status=live|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100511190551/http://www9.gmanews.tv/story/190534/glitches-cause-delays-in-first-automated-polls-nationwide|archive-date=May 11, 2010}}
= Constitutionality of the elections =
Many concerned civil society groups including the Center for People Empowerment in Governance (CenPEG), Philippine Computer Society (PCS), and Global Filipino Nation (GFN) protested the illegality and unconstitutionality of how the elections were conducted, particularly with implementing safety measures against fraud and cheating.
In an interim report by GFN 2010 Election Observers Team released on May 27 titled [https://web.archive.org/web/20100616223132/http://www.cenpeg.org/2010%20layout%20pages/POL%20PARTIES%20AND%20ELECTIONS_2010%20layout/may%202010/Foreign%20Observers%20Challenge%20Election%20Legitimacy.html "Foreign Observers Challenge Election Legitimacy"], they presented arguments questioning the May 10, 2010 elections summarized below:
- The election results transmitted from the precincts do not have digital signatures of the Board of Election Inspectors (BEI)
- The number of disenfranchised voters is sufficient to greatly affect the results of the elections.
- The Automated Election System (AES) was implemented without the appropriate field testing, and law-specified testing in actual elections.
- The source code review was not completed and initial findings were not addressed.
- No audit was done on the AES prior to the elections. There was only a mandated random manual audit which was not yet done at the time the report was written (May 27, 2010).
- Several voter and security features were disabled prior to elections.
Many different groups also echoed the same sentiments like Kaakbay Partylist in its critique of the May 10, 2010 polls.{{Cite web |url=http://www.tribuneonline.org/commentary/20100610com6.html |title = The Daily Tribune <<< Without Fear or Favor >>> |access-date=July 5, 2010 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100613165452/http://www.tribuneonline.org/commentary/20100610com6.html |archive-date=June 13, 2010 }} They also questioned the removal of digital signatures
== Removal of digital signatures ==
While Republic Act 9369 states that "The election returns transmitted electronically and digitally signed shall be considered as official election results and shall be used as the basis for the canvassing of votes and the proclamation of a candidate.",{{Cite web|url=http://www.chanrobles.com/republicactno9369.html|title=R.A. 9369 – AN ACT AMENDING REPUBLIC ACT NO. 8436, ENTITLED AN ACT AUTHORIZING THE COMMISSION ON ELECTIONS TO USE AN AUTOMATED ELECTION SYSTEM IN THE MAY 11, 1998 NATIONAL OR LOCAL ELECTIONS AND IN SUBSEQUENT NATIONAL AND LOCAL ELECTORAL EXERCISES, TO ENCOURAGE TRANSPARENCY, CREDIBILITY, FAIRNESS AND ACCURACY OF ELECTIONS, AMENDING FOR THE PURPOSE BATAS PAMPANSA BLG. 881, AS AMEMDED, REPUBLIC ACT NO. 7166 AND OTHER RELATED ELECTIONS LAWS, PROVIDING FUNDS THEREFOR AND FOR OTHER PURPOSES|website=www.chanrobles.com|url-status=live|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100511044804/http://www.chanrobles.com/republicactno9369.html|archive-date=May 11, 2010}} the Commission on Elections (COMELEC) issued Resolution 8786 on March 4, 2010, which became the basis for the decision to remove digital signatures which the COMELEC ruled as no longer necessary. Three Board of Election Inspectors (BEIs) were originally required to put in their iButton Key for the results to be digitally signed before transmission and make it official. But because of the issuance of COMELEC Resolution 8786, BEIs were directed to press "No" when asked by the PCOS machines to digitally sign the files for transmission.{{Cite web |url=http://newsinfo.inquirer.net/inquirerheadlines/nation/view/20100525-271890/Digital-signatures-built-in-say-poll-officials |title = Digital signatures built-in, say poll officials – INQUIRER.net, Philippine News for Filipinos |access-date=July 5, 2010 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100528165255/http://newsinfo.inquirer.net/inquirerheadlines/nation/view/20100525-271890/Digital-signatures-built-in-say-poll-officials |archive-date=May 28, 2010 }}
In the joint committee meeting at Batasang Pambansa, Senator Enrile asked the COMELEC officials why they removed the use of the digital signatures. Cesar Flores, Smartmatic Asia Pacific president, said “The voting machine has a digital signature in itself which is also corroborated in the card and the password that is provided to the BEIs. The BEIs when they sign the password, they encrypt the result, and the result is digitally signed.” (Sic)
Kaakbay Partylist released its critique of the election on June 6, 2010. The group cited complaints regarding the removal of main security features and verifiability of votes and also answered the arguments of those given by the COMELEC officials:
"On March 4, 2010, Comelec issued Resolution 8786 dated March 4, 2010, essentially disabling the use of digital signatures. Thus, the electronically transmitted votes from the precincts no longer bear digital signatures. Several excuses were given by Comelec ranging from PCOS machine signatures being equivalent to digital signature (which of course is not true); use of digital signature will require another P1 billion (as if digital feature is not included in the P7.1-billion contract); reducing transmission time (how less than one minute signing digitally will reduce much a transmission of about 30 to 60 minutes?); and the PCOS i-button and BEI Personal Identification Numbers (PINs) are equivalents (of course, not)".

Results
Reports indicated that the election day was marred with controversies, particularly in the insurgent-ridden provinces in Mindanao, though other provinces also faced difficulties such as computer glitches on the voting machines, disorderly conduct, vote buying, and violence.{{Cite web|url=http://www.bulatlat.com/main/2010/05/10/2010-elections-in-maguindanao-and-elsewhere-chaos-violence-fraud/|title=2010 Elections: In Maguindanao and Elsewhere: Chaos, Violence, Fraud – Bulatlat|date=May 10, 2010|website=bulatlat.com|url-status=live|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100513021624/http://www.bulatlat.com/main/2010/05/10/2010-elections-in-maguindanao-and-elsewhere-chaos-violence-fraud/|archive-date=May 13, 2010}} In Cebu City, spikes placed by unidentified men on the road caused a delay in the delivery of ballot boxes throughout the province of Cebu early Monday.{{Cite web|url=http://www.gmanews.tv/eleksyon2010/story/news/190538/spikes-on-road-delay-delivery-of-ballot-boxes-to-cebu-town|title=Election Results (Philippines) – Eleksyon2016 – GMA News Online|website=gmanews.tv}}
A total of over 76,340 precinct count optical scanner (PCOS) machines, about 5,000 back-up units, and about 1,700 servers were deployed in the country's first nationwide fully automated elections—from counting of votes to transmission and canvassing of election results. Election Day had live full coverage from GMA Network and ABS-CBN. Besides logistical problems, during the last few days prior to the election poll machine and services supplier Smartmatic-Total Information Management (TIM) found cases of PCOS machine failures. Nonetheless, it was decided not to postpone elections since the technical issues were resolved quickly and the solution could be deployed by the day of election. Despite the fact that some provinces reported issues in the election process, these did not surpass the 0.50% of the total number of PCOS machines, and most were replaced on time, as planned for. As a result of the delays, the COMELEC extended voting hours from 6:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. and continued through the night transmitting the votes from every precinct scattered across the country.
After the elections closed and transmissions from PCOS machines began arriving en masse and the COMELEC was able to publish the first partial results, many former doubts and concerns vanished, replaced by astonishment due to the unprecedented speed of the tally.{{Cite web|url=http://newsinfo.inquirer.net/inquirerheadlines/nation/view/20100512-269508/Fast-count-stuns-nation|title=Inquirer.Net: Fast count stuns nation|website=inquirer.net|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100514154710/http://newsinfo.inquirer.net/inquirerheadlines/nation/view/20100512-269508/Fast-count-stuns-nation|archive-date=May 14, 2010|access-date=May 12, 2010}}

International reaction
The United States and the European Union praised the republic for the smooth elections. The US embassy was one of the first to hail the general elections.
{{blockquote|We look forward to a smooth transition and, after June 30, to working with the new Philippine government to deepen the friendship and partnership between our two nations, and to advance our common goals for the benefit of the Southeast Asia region and the world.{{Cite news|url=http://www.philstar.com/Article.aspx?articleId=574541&publicationSubCategoryId=63|archive-url=https://archive.today/20130131065404/http://www.philstar.com/Article.aspx?articleId=574541&publicationSubCategoryId=63|url-status=dead|archive-date=2013-01-31|title=US, EU praise RP for milestone elections|access-date=2010-05-12}}}}
Seeing the patience and the number of people turned in the elections, EU ambassador Alistair MacDonald shared his experience and reflection in observing the Filipinos.
{{blockquote|I had the privilege of observing the electoral process in both Cavite and Batangas and was impressed by the manner in which this first nationwide automated election was conducted.}}
{{blockquote|Despite the intense heat, the long lines and the inevitable unfamiliarity of a new process, our observations suggested that this process was carried out smoothly, and the results transmitted rapidly, in the great majority of cases.}}
MacDonald also expressed that the EU was impressed for the elections being "smooth” and “generally trouble-free.”
He also appreciated the teacher's hard work for the said elections.
