The Commission on Elections (Comelec), sitting as the National Board of Canvassers (NBOC), officially began the canvassing of votes for the senatorial and party-list elections on Tuesday, May 10.

The first Certificates of Canvass (COCs) to be canvassed were from Abra, Malabon, Benguet, Kalinga, Apayao, Mountain Province, and Ifugao.

Almost all COCs have been electronically transmitted except for Region 9 (Zamboanga Peninsula) and the Bangsamoro Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (BARMM).

The NBOC had previously suspended its sessions on May 9 and May 10 due to a lack of transmitted COCs.

The proceedings were again suspended on Tuesday night and will resume on May 11.

Commissioner George Garcia proposed the creation of a sub-canvassing body for party-list groups to segregate the canvassing of votes for senators and party-list groups.
