THE Commission on Elections (Comelec) is accelerating ballot printing for the May 12, 2025, elections, aiming to produce 1.5 million ballots daily.
The increased production is necessary to compensate for delays caused by Supreme Court TROs. The delays resulted in approximately six million unusable ballots, costing P132 million. Despite this, the Comelec maintains the election will proceed as scheduled. Printing will prioritize mock elections, overseas voting, and several key regions.
