Comelec: No need for vax cards, negative tests at polls

The Commission on Elections (Comelec) stated that presenting COVID-19 vaccination cards and negative RT-PCR or antigen test results is not mandatory for voters during the May 9 elections.

Voters are only required to wear face masks, and there is no need to present a face shield while voting.

Garcia advised voters to leave immediately after casting their ballots to minimize risks of COVID-19 transmission.

Persons exhibiting COVID symptoms on election day can vote in isolation polling precincts set up for this purpose.
