Voters urged to report cases of electoral fraud
The DILG has ordered the PNP to establish anti-vote buying teams in all cities and provinces nationwide to address vote-buying and vote-selling.
These teams are tasked with receiving and investigating complaints, gathering evidence, and protecting witnesses.
DILG Secretary Eduardo M. Año urged the public to immediately report any suspicious activities, stating that police will arrest violators.
The anti-vote buying teams will forward evidence-based complaints to the Comelec for possible case filing or can be filed directly with the prosecutor's office.
Police regional offices will monitor the progress of complaints and submit regular updates, including reported methods of vote-buying, to the National Task Force Kontra Bigay.
