According to the report, James Jimenez responded to the query of the netizen. COMELEC spokesperson said he “really cannot say that broken seals in the ballot boxes are the norm.”
He also advised Soledad to check the seal if it was tampered, replaced or broken.

“Sticker may have torn during movement of the truck as the ‘lap,’ or the torn edge, appears uneven,” said Jimenez.
