Comelec Bicol received 31 complaints in Catanduanes, 6 in Camarines Sur, 4 in Albay, 3 in Masbate, 1 in Sorsogon, and none in Camarines Norte.

Vote buying is defined in Article XXII, Section 261 as the act of giving or offering of money or anything of value to induce anyone or the public in general to vote for or against any candidate or withhold his vote in the election, or to vote for or against any aspirant for the nomination or choice of a candidate in a convention or similar selection process of a political party.
