Comelec eyes setting dates for COC filing per post amid virus risks
The Commission on Elections (Comelec) is considering setting specific dates for the filing of certificates of candidacy (COCs) per elective position due to pandemic restrictions.
Comelec executive director Bartolome Sinocruz Jr. said during a media conference that single-elective positions, such as mayors and vice mayors, would have fewer days for COC filing compared to multi-elective positions like sangguniang panlalawigan, sangguniang panlunsod, and sangguniang bayan.
Comelec is also contemplating conducting the October COC filing in phases to limit the number of people present and reduce COVID-19 transmission risks.
