THE Commission on Elections will wait for Congress to pass a legislation that will possibly postpone the scheduled barangay elections set on 2020.
Commissioner Rowena Guanzon on Thursday, July 4, said that it is Congress that gives Comelec the budget so they will wait for them.
We are preparing for it starting with the registration of voters on August 1, Guanzon said.
"Unless they pass a law postponing it, the Comelec is ready to manage the barangay elections," Guanzon pointed out.
On proposals to revert back to manual voting amid questions of its results during the May 13 elections, Guanzon said she wants the transmission to be electronic to hasten the counting of results.
"If we go back to manual, it will take 10 days for us to know the results especially in the local level," she said.
Whatever Congress decides the Comelec will deliver a clean, honest and credible elections, Guanzon said.
