The Commission on Elections (Comelec) announced that approximately 6 million printed ballots are now useless following the Supreme Court's issuance of a Temporary Restraining Order (TRO) against the disqualification of a certain candidate. According to Comelec chairperson George Garcia, the printed ballots will be wasted as they do not contain the name of the candidate in question. This development is a significant setback for the electoral process, highlighting the uncertainty and challenges faced by the Comelec in ensuring the integrity of the elections, with key terms like 'election ballots' and 'voter disenfranchisement' becoming increasingly relevant.
