The Commission on Elections (Comelec) is investigating almost a thousand alleged vote-buying cases in relation to the conduct of the May 2022 national and local elections, poll Commissioner George Garcia said on Monday.
Congress, which sits as the National Board of Canvassers, deferred on Wednesday the canvassing of votes for president and vice president from some areas due to missing certificates of canvass.
The last certificate of canvass for Eleksyon 2022, coming from Lanao del Sur, has already been transmitted to the National Board of Canvassers on Wednesday morning, the Commission on Elections said.
Speaker Lord Allan Velasco assured the public on Sunday that the canvassing of votes and proclamation of winners in the recently concluded presidential and vice presidential elections will be “expeditious, transparent and credible.”
