THE Commission on Elections (Comelec) will resume on Aug. 28 the printing of the 2.3 million official ballots that will be used for the first parliamentary elections of the Bangsamoro Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (BARMM).
Comelec Chairman George Erwin Garcia said on Wednesday that the Commission en banc reached the decision after receiving confirmation that Parliament Bill 351 or the Bangsamoro Parliamentary Redistricting Act of 2025 has not yet been signed by the Parliament speaker and the chief minister.Parliament Bill 351 is supposed to amend Bangsamoro Autonomy Act 58 or the Bangsamoro Parliamentary District Act of 2024, which was passed by the Bangsamoro Transition Authority (BTA) on Feb. 28 2024.
The Comelec stopped the printing of ballots on Aug. 21, a day before the scheduled start of printing by the National Printing Office, following the approval by the BARMM parliament of a bill redistributing the seven district seats originally allocated to the province of Sulu.Garcia said that the commission will not change the schedule for the distribution of ballots and other election paraphernalia.
The Bangsamoro election will cover 73 parliamentary seats — 40 for party-list nominees and 33 district representatives., This news data comes from:http://ojcv-ov-dsm-iyiu.aichuwei.com
