Citizens Unite for Transparent Elections: Namfrel's Operation QR Count 2025
Quantity Check-up 2025: Gilusad Assessment
Witness the power of democracy as the National Citizens' Movement for Free Elections (NAMFREL) kicks off Operation QR Count (OQC) 2025, an innovative, citizen-driven initiative for the upcoming 2025 National and Local Elections (NLE).
This operation empowers people to take an active role in scrutinizing the election results by employing a mobile application designed for loners with smartphones and internet access. During the voting period, you can simplify QR codes on Election Returns (ERs) displayed outside polling stations and contribute to the verification of these results through the app.
The app, now available on Google Play Store and App Store, caters to everyone from the youth, members of civil society, local candidates, and ordinary voters alike. As Namfrel National Chairperson Lito Averia rightly states, "Everyone is encouraged to download the Namfrel 2025 app to help independently verify the transmitted election results in their own polling place, voting center, barangay, city, and municipality. Every voter should be an observer. You can do this even if you are not a Namfrel volunteer."
In addition to public participation, Namfrel volunteers will scan the QR codes of the voter-verified paper audit trail (VVPAT) in selected precincts, enhancing the verification process even further.
Here's a sneak peek into the behind-the-scenes of OQC 2025:
