Comelec warns against unreliable exit polls

The Commission on Elections (Comelec) is warning the public about unreliable exit polls circulating on social media as overseas voting begins for the May 9 elections.

Comelec spokesperson James Jimenez emphasized that exit polls are not official vote tallies and should only be considered reliable if they come from known and reputable survey firms.

Jimenez also reminded voters that overseas ballots will only be counted on election day, after the close of polls.
