The Commission on Elections (Comelec) on Tuesday said its experience with the Palawan plebiscite will help in planning the 2022 elections amid the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic.
“[This election] will help us plan for the 2022 election in terms of anti-COVID response,” Comelec Commissioner Antonio Kho Jr. said in a live briefing.
