NEW YORK, NY--(NewMediaWire - Sep 19, 2016) - Global Arena
Holding, Inc. (OTC PINK: GAHC), (the "Company") announced today that the
Company's subsidiary, Global Election Services, Inc. ("GES"), has
furthered it relationship with Smartmatic, completing another major labor
union election, with the industry's leading voting technology
provider.
"I am really excited to see this relationship between GES and
Smartmatic begin to take shape," said Mr. John Matthews, CEO of
Global Arena Holding, Inc. "It's not every day you get the
opportunity to collaborate with one of the world's leading election
technology providers. Given that this is the second time
Smartmatic has accepted the engagement, I'm pleased to know that
GES is not only meeting our expectations, but those of industry
leaders."
The first time GES worked with Smartmatic, was at a major
election for a Hawaiian Union [July 2016] -- where GES
successfully used Smartmatic's tabulation and scanning
software. Management indicated that the system worked
flawlessly and that the Hawaiian Union was pleased with the
services GES provided. This second time, GES and Smartmatic
worked together to run an election for a major Florida Labor
Union.
In this election, GES utilized Smartmatic's Registration Process
to ensure that all of the members who voted, were eligible to
vote. The hardware and software for the registration system
provided by Smartmatic, enabled GES' team to accurately -- in real
time -- identify potential non-eligible envelopes quickly. The
process worked seamlessly and provided all candidates and observers
the transparency needed to feel confident that GES ran a fair and
orderly election.
Mr. Matthew's concluded, "It goes without saying that once
again, Smartmatic's hardware and software, along with the
professionalism exhibited the Smartmatic team, substantiates their
being a leader in election technologies
worldwide. Smartmatic's system provided immediate and accurate
data to GES, enabling the election to proceed seamlessly. I am
certainly excited to see what tremendous opportunities evolve from
a continuing relationship between GES and Smartmatic."
The election results will be filed with the International Union
and the United States Department of Labor.
