Resolve issues before winners’ proclamation, Comelec urged
Kontra Daya urges the Commission on Elections (Comelec) to address outstanding election concerns before proclaiming the winners of the 2025 midterm elections.
The poll watchdog emphasized that the speed of canvassing and proclamation should not be the sole measure of electoral success.
Kontra Daya raised concerns over delays in the transmission of election data to the transparency servers compared to the Comelec's central servers.
Comelec chairperson George Garcia explained that data from precincts are transmitted to both the Comelec and transparency servers, although the latter receives information in batches.
Kontra Daya convenor Danilo Arao questioned why data is not transmitted simultaneously to both servers, stating that transparency servers should serve as a check and balance, not merely a duplicate.
The group believes that if Comelec values the electorate's vote, it must resolve the inconsistencies observed in the recent election.
The Comelec had previously indicated that winning senators could be proclaimed as early as Saturday, May 17.
