THE Commission on Elections on Friday, September 8, 2023, vowed that it will no longer be"business as usual" in the October 30 Barangay and Sangguniang Kabataan Elections when it comes to vote buying and vote selling activities.
"When it comes to vote buying and vote selling, it won't be business as usual. There will be no sleeping during our watch. Otherwise, we wake up to find the wrong representatives sitting in high places," he added. "It is an insult to the Commission and our election stakeholders as it wastes our time and hard work in ensuring a neutral voting environment. It is an assault on democracy itself as the majority decision is disrespected," he added.
The Comelec is also implementing a money ban, wherein it shall be prohibited to possess, transport and/or carry cash exceeding P500,000 or its equivalent in any foreign currency, along with campaign paraphernalia and/or corroborating evidence during the period of two days before an election and on election day.
