After the 2019 midterm elections were conducted, certificate of canvasses were submitted to the Commission on Elections.
The Philippine Embassy based in US stated early Wednesday that all Certificate of Canvas (COCs) were already forwarded to the office of the Commission on Elections (Comelec).
There was also a reported delay in the transmission of COCs from abroad.
The Embassy revealed that the said delay was caused by four malfunctioning SD Cards used in the voting process in San Francisco and Los Angeles.
In total, only 39,511 voters out of the 228,470 registered voters participated in the elections. That’s approximately 17.29% of all the supposed voters.
Despite the low voter turnout, this year’s number still exceeds the numbers from 2013 midterm polls which was at 10.55%.
Consul General Renato Villa has already set to leave for the Philippines from Washington DC to bring the Certificate of Canvas himself to the Commission on Elections office.
