Comelec-7 regional director Francisco Pobe confirmed that 758 ACMs have arrived and are stored in designated regional hubs in Bohol and Cebu.
Of the total delivered machines, 672 units have been received in Cebu Province, while 86 have arrived in Bohol, according to the latest tally from Comelec.
Pobe said that they have been informed by the provider that more shipments of ACMs will be arriving this week.
