According to www.merriam-webster.com, democracy is defined as:

"a : government by the people; especially : rule of the majority

 b : a government in which the supreme power is vested in the people and exercised by them directly or indirectly through a system of representation usually involving periodically held free elections"

The Philippines operates under one such system. However, a closer look reveals that there is actually something left to be desired. There is due discrimination on how candidates win and how candidates lose. Besides that, there is the lack of discipline among among the people. This contrast was clearly demonstrated during the May 2010 elections, when the country experienced firsthand the automated form of elections. It was a success according to some, and it was also a failure according to others too. However, the overall scenario shows that there is still hope.

With that said, we would like to welcome you to our website. We are a group of law students from the University of Cebu. This website is in partial fulfillment of the requirements in IT and the Law subject. As per group decision, we have decided to use IT(information technology) to inform citizens about voter's education. With this in mind, we have tied up with COMELEC here in Cebu City. The COMELEC will provide us with all the needed data that will help us with our goal --  to provide and guide voters about making informed decisions when it comes to one of the most important milestones that happens in every democracy -- the elections.

Please do come back and check this website for more updates.
