“If that happens, this will be  fastest in our history that we are able to proclaim  winning senatorial candidates, and then  party-list winners,” Commission on Elections (Comelec) Chairman George Garcia said “so hopefully our canvassing will continue as scheduled today.”

Winners of  2025 senatorial race may be proclaimed by Saturday (May 17) as long as  remaining certificates of canvass are transmitted on time, according to Comelec.

Garcia said poll body hopes to complete  canvassing of  16 remaining COCs today.

If all goes according to plan, Garcia said they would be able to proclaim winning senatorial candidates by Saturday afternoon, with winning party-lists to follow on Monday.

Poll  body has processed 159 out of 175 COCs as of Thursday, second day of its canvassing. Midterm  polls were held on Monday, May 12. 

All COCs from local polling posts have already been received as of Wednesday, Garcia said, but three COCs overseas are still pending transmission.

Garcia explained precinct in Moscow still needs to send their results to Qatar, while Milan needs to transmit theirs through Kuwait due to technical issues.

Garcia said they are coordinating with embassies and consulates to ensure all remaining COCs were sent by 3 in the afternoon Thursday.

Elections  on Monday saw  turnout of more than 55 million at least 81.65% of all registered voters. This is  highest voter turnout so far for  midterm election in  Comelec’s history.

Polls  held halfway into Marcos administration will determine 12 new senators and over 300 new lawmakers at  House of Representatives, alongside local government positions.

Election day itself was marred by technical issues and delays across multiple voting precincts.

 National Citizens’ Movement for Free Elections (NAMFREL),  accredited citizens’ arm of Comelec, documented several issues during election day, including malfunctioning vote-counting machines (VCMs), overcrowding and breaches in ballot secrecy.

NAMFREL observers reported  approximately one-fourth of volunteers witnessed problems with automated vote-counting machines, including printing jams, machines erroneously flagging properly filled ballots as invalid and ballots being rejected due to stray marks or folds.
