Comelec completes Cavite ballot printing
MANILA, Philippines — The Commission on Elections (Comelec) has completed the printing of 447,387 official ballots for the Aug. 29 special election for the fourth legislative district of Dasmariñas City in Cavite.
Comelec Chairman George Garcia informed reporters over the weekend that the printing had reached 100 percent completion.
The special election will be held to fill the congressional seat vacated by Francisco Barzaga Jr., who was expelled from the House of Representatives in June for disorderly behavior, conduct unbecoming of a member and violations of the House Code of Conduct.
Garcia earlier said the Comelec expects to proclaim the winner early on Aug. 30.
The special election has a budget of P198 million, with P50 million to be shouldered by the Dasmariñas City government.
