The ballot can be from two to three feet long." and using thermal paper it seems. so yes, most likely the font will be reduced, if only to economize on paper... check out neal cruz’s inquirer column: Has Comelec solved all the problems [http://opinion.inquirer.net/inquireropinion/columns/view/20090622-211742/Has-Comelec-solved-all-the-problems]. he foresees the same problems as lito banayo:

Not so much in the voting process (vote-buying, cadena de amor…one is accepted as a given; the other is something alert watchers for a candidate should be able to foil), but in the canvass, where election return is transferred into a statement of votes and a certificate of canvass which shall be the basis for proclamation of winners. So Gus Lagman says, speed up the canvass through computerized recording and transmission of the election returns as base document. Melo would not listen." until we're sure of the machines, parang it makes sense na manual na muna the voting and counting at precinct level. indeed sa canvass nagkakadagdagbawasan, so sa level na iyon onwards lang muna i-computerize. except maybe for a few places, where the voting and counting are computerized at all levels, to test the machines? says lito banayo: “For where is the cheating done?
