Most of the remaining 2,604 barangays are those which have not held elections on Monday, as well as those in 2 areas where elections are postponed.
Polls were not held in at least 97 barangays in 7 provinces on Monday for various reasons, from inclement weather to security threats. The polls there were reset to a later date, with some taking place within the week.
In addition, the barangay elections in Zamboanga City (with 98 barangays) and Bohol (with 1,109 barangays) were postponed to November 25.
In a 2 pm press briefing on Tuesday, Comelec Chairman Sixto Brillantes Jr said, “Less than 24 hours after polls closed, we’re already near 75%. By tonight or tomorrow, we may be able to complete all the rest.”
At 1 pm Tuesday, 73% of barangays have proclaimed the winners. Four hours later, at 5 pm, 91.5% reported proclamations of election victors.
Comelec, however, disclosed that the proclamation of some candidates was suspended due to pending motu proprio cases filed against them. These bets were either said to be nuisance candidates, non-registered voters, or convicted of a crime.–
