Voters troop to polling precincts to choose their senators, House representatives, and local officials

MANILA, Philippines – At exactly 6 am on Monday, May 13, polling precincts opened for the midterm elections.

Over 61 million Filipinos are expected to cast their votes for candidates they want in the Senate and the House of Representatives, and leaders who will run their respective localities.

Each voter is entitled to choose one party-list organization, which, depending on the number of votes it gets, can have a maximum of 3 seats in the House of Representatives.
