So you won’t see anymore white boards, manual tallies,” he said. Senate President Sotto said the plan is to start the canvassing on the morning of May 24 since the House and Senate are about to resume session the day before or May 23. He said that will be the time the Senate would name its seven representatives to the National Board of Canvassers (NBOC). The members of the Congressional Canvass Committee acting as the National Board of Canvassers (NBOC) will be presided over by Speaker Velasco and Senate President Sotto. Meanwhile, after the press briefing Speaker Velasco and Senate President Sotto welcomed foreign observers who are in the country for the 2022 general elections.
