“For those aged 18-30 years old, they will be receiving two ballots, one for barangay and one for SK. This is why we reached 91.5 million ballots,” he said.

Given the high number of ballots to be printed, he said the Comelec is looking to begin printing by the middle of September.

Laudiangco said the poll body likewise needs to allocate specific periods for the verification and deployment of the official ballots.

“Factoring all these, the printing, the verification, the deployment, we need to begin by mid-September,” he said.
