The Commission on Elections (COMELEC) has printed 45.65 million official ballots for the 2025 midterm elections, representing 63.32% of the total 72.09 million required.

Ballot printing is being undertaken by Miru Systems and the National Printing Office (NPO), with approximately 22.57 million and 23.08 million ballots printed respectively.

Ballot printing resumed a month ago after the Supreme Court issued a temporary restraining order (TRO) against the disqualification of several local candidates, prompting a reprint.

Despite the withdrawal of some candidates, COMELEC expects to complete the printing process by March 9 or 10.

As of Tuesday, February 25, 26.45 million ballots remain to be printed, with Miru Systems set to print 14.23 million and the NPO 12.17 million of the remaining ballots.

The midterm elections will be held on May 12, 2025, to determine new senators, congressional representatives, and local officials.
