Three COC will be electronically transmitted from Jordan, Hong Kong, and Lanao del Sur.
The other 21 will be brought to the PICC canvassing site, composed of 19 overseas, 1 from the Vulnerable Sectors Office, and 1 from 64 villages in North Cotabato.
The NBOC is canvassing votes for senators and party-list groups.
There will be 12 winning senators while party-list winners will depend on the percentage of votes gathered. (PNA)
