Comelec eyes completion of ACMs delivery by May 1
The Commission on Elections (Comelec) has begun deploying official printed ballots and Automated Counting Machines (ACMs) for Eleksyon 2025, prioritizing remote areas.
Comelec aims to complete the deployment of official printed ballots nationwide by April 30, 2025, and have the ACMs delivered to teachers by May 1, 2025.
Each box contains the exact number of ballots matching registered voters per precinct, with no excess ballots.
The ACMs are precinct-specific and will not accept ballots not designated for the correct precinct.
Ballots for BARMM provinces are being delivered directly to municipal and city treasurers for custody and distribution.
Final testing and sealing of ballots and ACMs, which will include testing by poll workers and casting by ten voters, will take place from May 2 to May 8.
Comelec encourages transparency by inviting political parties, candidates, civil society groups, and religious organizations to witness the ballot deployment.
