“In some cases, approval of  application for exemption is delayed because  documents are incomplete…if it is complete, we could promise applicants that their applications will be approved in one week,” Commission on Elections (Comelec) Chairman George Garcia said those seeking to apply for exemption to  poll gun ban are reminded to complete their requirements before submitting their applications to Comelec

Garcia assured applicants they could obtain  exemption in just a week, if they submit  complete requirements.

Application  for gun ban exemption begins today.

Garcia said those who apply for exemption could also use online payment system.

Starting Jan. 12, 2025, Comelec will enforce  gun ban in connection with midterm elections in May.

Tomorrow, Garcia said  Comelec would hold first convention for election officers, provincial election supervisors and regional election directors. Convention  aims to teach poll officials on use of new automated counting machines and other matters concerning  automated election.

Meanwhile, poll workers need to be compensated with P15,000 and given enough protection during  2025 midterm elections due to enduring climate of political violence during polls,  Alliance of Concerned Teachers (ACT) said over the weekend.

As both chambers of Congress continue to deliberate on 2025 proposed national budget, ACT said  government needs to push for higher poll service honoraria, allowances and enhanced protection for poll workers  most of whom are public school teachers.
