To avoid intrigues, Jimenez added that the votes will not be ranked per candidate.
“Yung mismong boto makikita mo lang sa precinct level. Wala tayong ranking. Walang pagto-total ditto kasi ayaw natin masabi nila kino-control nain ‘yung labas para sabihing may panalo na,” he said.
Phones were meanwhile prohibited in polling precincts to avoid vote-buying. There were more than 54 million registered to which 75-80 percent are expected by the Comelec.
While there are glitches in the VCMs, Comelec is expecting that the voting will extend in case-to-case bases.
