Comelec begins shipping of ballots for May 2025 polls
April 23, 2025
|Manila Bulletin
The Commission on Elections (Comelec) started on Tuesday, April 22, the deployment of the first batch of official ballots for the May 2025 national and local elections, with deliveries beginning in the Bangsamoro Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (BARMM).
In an interview, Comelec Chairman George Erwin Garcia said each box delivered contains the ballots exactly matching the number of registered voters in its assigned precinct.
“Isang presinto, isang botante, isang balota, wala po tayong pasobra bawat isang presinto (One precinct, one voter, one ballot. There's no excess)," Garcia said.
He also emphasized that the automated counting machines (ACMs) are precinct-specific and will not accept ballots not designated for the correct precinct.
Garcia said that Comelec's delivery strategy prioritizes remote areas first.
