Comelec spokesman John Rex Laudiangco said the number is 50.36 percent of the total 173 COCs that they will canvass. "We're now on our 3rd day of canvassing for senators and party-lists. Canvass Report No. 2 presents the data from the 82 COCs already canvassed by the NBOC," he said in a press conference Thursday afternoon. "For the 82 COCs, it covers 33,965,926 registered voters. Voter turnout is 84.81 percent. That's how high our turnout in areas that have been canvassed," he added. He reported that their approximate turnout is around 80.5 to 81 percent. "We expect more or less 54 million out of 67 million registered voters...Our estimate is around 80.5 percent to 81 percent voter turnout..." Laudiangco said.
