The Senate and House of Representatives convened as the National Board of Canvassers (NBOC) to canvass votes for president and vice president.

Congress leaders aimed to finish the canvassing of votes in two days and proclaim the new president and vice president on Wednesday.

The NBOC has finished the official tallying of votes for president and vice president in the 2022 national and local elections.

The Joint Canvassing Committee (JCC), co-chaired by Senate Majority Leader Juan Miguel Zubiri and House Majority Leader Martin Romualdez, declared the completion of the processing of the certificates of canvass (COCs) on Wednesday afternoon.

The canvassing was completed without including overseas absentee voting (OAV) votes from Argentina and Syria, as ballot boxes from these countries had not yet arrived.

The JCC report will be submitted to the Joint Public Session of the House of Representatives and the Senate for approval.

Following the adoption of the Resolution of Both Houses, Senate President Vicente Sotto III and Speaker Lord Allan Velasco will proclaim the duly-elected president and vice-president.
