Acting Comelec spokesperson John Rex Laudiangco said these partial results are from 149 certificates of canvass (COCs) canvassed by the NBOC.

The law provides that a party-list group that gets at least 2% of the total number of votes cast in the party-list race will be entitled to at least one seat in the House of Representatives.

Those who exceed the 2% threshold will be entitled to additional seats proportionate to the number of votes cast, but the total number of seats for each winning party-list group cannot exceed three.

Those who do not meet the 2% requirement may still be able to secure a seat in the House because the party-list law also requires that 20% of House members come from the party-list ranks.

The NBOC had already processed 159 out of 173 COCs from several provinces, cities, and overseas voting as of Sunday afternoon.

The poll body said it is looking at proclaiming all 12 winning senators and partial winning party-list groups for Eleksyon 2022 on Tuesday or Wednesday. — BM, GMA News
