.COMELEC warns politicians against conducting raffles at campaign sorties

Comelec Commissioner George Garcia said that raffles or any in-kind donations can be considered vote-buying.

Garcia also explained that vote-buying does not necessarily involve giving money as cited in Section 261 of Omnibus Election Code. The task force will be composed of several government agencies including the Department of Justice, National Bureau of Investigation, Philippine National Police, Armed Forces of the Philippines, and Philippine Information Agency.“Ibig sabihin bibigyan naming ang mga kasama sa task force na mag motu proprio investigation ng sarili. Mangalap ng ebidensya ng sarili, magpatawag ng mga tao at mag-subpoena ng mga tao para lang hindi na tayo aasa lang na may mag-file ng complaints,” Garcia said.
