On Tuesday, Comelec Commissioner Sheriff Abas revealed that about 1,000 VCMs malfunctioned and 1,665 SD cards were defective on the day of the election.Caritos said one VCM could accommodate a thousand voters. However, they do not have data on how many were disenfranchised because of this, or how many left the polling centers without voting first due to the delay.<ul class="op-related-articles">	<li><a href="https://news.abs-cbn.com/news/05/13/19/incidents-of-malfunctioning-machines-mar-ph-midterm-polls">Incidents of malfunctioning machines mar PH midterm polls</a></li></ul>While Comelec assured that a contingency plan was in place, Caritos questioned if the defective machines were immediately replaced that allowed for more voters to vote.&quot;Assurance nila sa atin mayroong botohan na nangyari sa mga lugar na may nasirang makina kasi walang failure of election,&quot; she said.Aside from the machines, the Comelec also encountered problems with the marking pens used in shading ballots.&quot;Nangyari po ngayong 2019, in-outsource to different suppliers...and hindi masyadong napaghandaan is &#x27;yung compatibility nung iba&#x27;t ibang mga gamit na &#x27;yan,&quot; she said.She said there is a need to rethink if the multi-supplier strategy would still work if the country is going automated again in the next election.
