Recommendations/Suggestions from the Panel

The suggestions/recommendations from the Dissertation Writing Proposal Committee:


1. Wider geographic scope. Instead of focusing on Angeles City, it would be better to focus on a regional scope. Region III or Central Luzon coverage can make the study more significant, esp. it's a dissertation.

2. Limit the study in terms of methods and problems. For example, instead of gathering data from BEIs, voters, COMELEC officers, etc., I may just limit the study to voters only from Region III.

3. Make it a combination of quantitative and qualitative approach. Qualitative tools, e.g. FGD, may just be utilized to verify information from the respondents which would be gathered thru questionnaires.

4. May still include pre-election, election, and post-election aspects but the length of the questionnaire should be considered. If it's too long, respondents might not answer accurately, or they may lose interest in answering.

5. The voter-respondents should have actually voted, and the records showing they actually did so must be obtained from COMELEC.

6. No need to conduct the study on the day of election, but floating of questionnaires must be done immediately after election day to maximize respondents' recall.

7. New title suggested:

THE CONDUCT OF THE AUTOMATED ELECTION
SYSTEM IN CENTRAL LUZON:
An Assessment
