The Commission on Elections (Comelec) en banc, acting as the National Board of Canvassers (NBOC), has started canvassing certificates of canvass (COC) for the Eleksyon 2025 senatorial and party-list races.

The NBOC aims to finish canvassing all 175 COCs by Friday, May 15, 2025.

Comelec Chairperson George Garcia stated that the proclamation of the 12 winning senators is aimed for by Saturday at the earliest, which would be the fastest in Philippine election history.

Garcia noted that the NBOC processed 58 COCs on Tuesday and 101 COCs on Wednesday, making it a historic achievement.

While the canvassing may be completed on Friday, the proclamation is set for Saturday or Sunday to allow for venue preparation and invitations.

The final data from the NBOC will be the basis for proclamation, not unofficial tallies.
