Proclamation
The National Board of Canvassers (NBOC) is expected to consolidate the votes and declare the winners both for the senatorial and the party-list races.
The NBOC is composed of the poll body commission, which is made up of Melo and the six poll body commissioners. They officially convened on Monday afternoon.
The NBOC will base its declaration on the certificates of canvass (COC) to be sent by the Provincial Board of Convassers (PBC). The PBC will in turn receive COCs from the city and municipal board of canvassers.
But Melo said that they will still have to wait for the COCs to be transmitted before the NBOC can resume session.
On the other hand, Congress, sitting as the National Board of Canvassers, will serve as the canvassing board for the position of president and vice president.
The poll body is expected to conduct another briefing later in the day to update the tally and announce the results of the random manual audit of precincts nationwide.
