The National Office of Electoral Processes (ONPE) carried out this Saturday, May 7, the official simulation of the electoral computation system corresponding to the process of Internal Elections 2022. The activity made it possible to verify the functionality of the electoral software in the only computer center enabled for these elections.
The official drill began at 09:00 am at the headquarters of the ONPE with the execution of the verification program of the electoral software and the execution of the zeroing in the servers of the electoral body. In both cases, the respective reports were issued through the Results Computation System (SCORE).
The zeroing of the electoral computation system consists of the elimination of the records from the database, through the electoral software, which runs on the aforementioned servers to start the processing of the electoral records.
