Groups ask NBI to probe election irregularities
The Philippine Star
|July 11, 2025
Election watchdogs and civil society groups yesterday asked the National Bureau of Investigation (NBI) to look into alleged irregularities in the 2025 midterm elections.
The Alyansa ng Nagkakaisang Mamamayan and the Church Leaders Council for National Transformation claimed that the Commission on Elections (Comelec) committed system interference, used an intermediary server or a third data center to transmit results from clustered precincts to stakeholders and deleted five million votes.
They also alleged that the Comelec updated the software installed on the automated counting machines—an update that had not undergone a source code review.
