MANILA, Philippines -- Foreign and local hackers will be invited to test the security of the Internet voting system that will be deployed on July 10, a poll official said Tuesday.

The Commission on Elections will pilot-test the Internet voting system in Singapore. The results of the polls, however, will be non-binding, meaning they won't affect the elections.

The Comelec has asked the help of the International Foundation for Electoral System to tap professional hackers to "penetrate" the Internet voting system developed by Spanish firm Syctl, Comelec commissioner Florentino Tuason Jr. said.
