Comelec Commissioner Antonio Kho explained that many ballot boxes remain unavailable due to the pendency of several poll protests.
“We still have protest cases so the ballots used in these cases are still in these ballot boxes. Therefore, we cannot use them,” he said in an online forum Wednesday, May 26.
“We need to know if the courts will allow us to use it for 2022. Otherwise, we will have to acquire new additional ballot boxes,” Kho added.
The poll official said they have directed the Special Bids and Awards Committee to prepare the Terms of Reference for the acquisition of additional ballot boxes.
