As the election results are counted and finalized, we continue to urge the Filipino public to be vigilant, and to safeguard democracy as we prepare for the next election season and everything in between.

In summary, with the breakdown of VCMs across the country, numerous reports of illegal activity prior to and during election day, as well as the likely mass disenfranchisement, it is clear that an investigation should be launched into the anomalies plaguing the 2022 PH elections.

We urge the COMELEC to provide clear, consistent guidelines to the voting process and ensure stricter implementation of these guidelines; failure to do so can provide avenues for fraud and compromise the integrity of the elections as a whole.

Furthermore, other election process-related issues such as anomalous collecting of receipts and preventing voters from feeding their ballots into the machines themselves were also reported.

These illegal activities have been a mainstay in Philippine elections, which the COMELEC should more actively combat as this is a clear affront to the electoral process.

Additionally, electioneering, primarily in the form of campaign material distribution right outside of voting precincts, featured prominently in the elections with reports coming in from across the country.

The scale of the ensuing voter disenfranchisement from this decision is hard to calculate, but the reports of long lines at precincts even as late as 7 PM certainly implies that many Filipinos would have definitely benefited from an extension of voting hours.

COMELECβs decision to uphold the 7 PM βdeadlineβ of voting on May 9, despite widespread clamor online and in some of the precincts themselves, also undoubtedly had a negative impact on the elections.

Reports have also documented how people waited several hours, even up until the early hours of the following morning, just to be able to vote properly.

The number of documented VCM errors in this election surpasses that of the previous two automated elections in the country by a significant margin. These breakdowns have undoubtedly affected voter participation, leading to delayed voting and disenfranchisement in several cases.

A number of reports also documented vote-buying, military presence, general disenfranchisement, and general delayed voting, among other reports.
