THE Commission on Elections (Comelec) warned electronic wallet operators they could be involved in vote-buying cases if they allow candidates in the Barangay and Sangguniang Kabataan Elections (BSKE) to use their apps to buy votes.
Comelec Chairman George Garcia said over the weekend that the agency has already informed GCash, Maya and other companies involved in mobile payment services that they may face charges for conspiracy to commit vote-buying.Garcia said they advised the companies to monitor high-volume transactions, especially in the days prior to election day.The companies were also told to be suspicious when money is sent to 50 to 200 people in one day.
Last week, the poll body officially launched its committee against vote buying and vote selling for the BSKE and opened its complaint center to curb such illegal activities.Comelec Resolution 10946 created the Committee on Kontra Bigay and established the 'Kontra-Bigay Complaint Center,' which will receive reports on incidents of vote buying and vote selling.During the 2022 elections, the poll body received 1,226 reports of vote-buying.
