A Random Manual Audit (RMA) for the Bangsamoro Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (BARMM) parliamentary election reports very high accuracy, with results showing about 99.9% accuracy. The Commission on Elections (Comelec) cites a 99.9% accuracy rate for the RMA.
The Philippine Statistics Authority (PSA) provides a more detailed figure. It says the overall accuracy rate reaches 99.99561% based on results from all 21 BARMM sample clustered precincts audited as of Sept. 23.
Together, the accounts indicate that the RMA results are based on a sampled set of precincts and that the audit is designed to validate the accuracy of automated or tabulation results through manual checking. While one outlet emphasizes the rounded 99.9% figure from Comelec, the PSA figure reflects a more precise calculation derived from the audited precinct results.
