The Commission on Elections en banc on Wednesday approved the proposal to lower to 15% the valid shading threshold for ballots for the 2025 national and local elections . “Approved na po ang 15% threshold,” Comelec chairperson George Erwin Garcia told GMA News Online.
On Tuesday, Garcia announced the poll body is considering further easing the threshold to avoid voter disenfranchisement. He said the lowest threshold for shading was set at 20% during the 2010 elections. “Ang importante dito is ‘yung intent ng voter . No voter should be disenfranchised,” the poll chief earlier said. Election watchdog National Citizens' Movement for Free Elections Eleksyon 2025 will be held on May 12, 2025.
