Comelec confirms Bongbong Marcos on overseas ballot

Former Senator Ferdinand "Bongbong" Marcos Jr. will be included in the official ballot for overseas voters in the May 2022 elections, confirmed Comelec Director Elaiza Sabile David.

The Comelec Second Division dismissed a petition seeking to cancel Marcos' certificate of candidacy, stating he did not commit material misrepresentation.

There are approximately 1.7 million registered overseas Filipino voters for the upcoming elections.

The overseas ballot, which only lists national candidates, measures 25 inches long.

This decision is one of several rulings on petitions challenging Marcos' candidacy, with some already junked and others still pending.
