The Commission on Elections on Sunday backed the proposal for them to do away with the traditional printing and distribution of the voters’ information and instruction sheets in preparation for the 2025 midterm elections. Comelec chairman George Garcia said that not only is the printing and distribution of VIIS costly for the poll body, but many registered voters have actually complained about not receiving such sheets during the election period.
Without the VIIS, he said Comelec can save nearly half a billion pesos for next year’s elections.“Sumusuporta po kami diyan para naman ‘yung matitipid diyan ay magamit namin sa ibang bagay lalo na sa mga honoraria ng ating mga guro,” Garcia added.Last week, Senator Imee Marcos pushed for the abolition of VIIS printing as she sponsored Senate Bill No. 308 or an act amending section 185 of the Omnibus Election Code, as amended by Republic Act No. 7904, by abolishing the VIIS.
