Don't tell me we'd be having results for each and every municipality, city and barangay, lol. --Howard the Duck 16:27, 19 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Do you want me to provide? I still got tons of photocopied election results I obtained from COMELEC. Ü Scorpion prinz 11:24, 6 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Wow, so how should it be divided? By province? Municipality? How about disputes? --Howard the Duck 11:57, 6 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

It's really hard to monitor. All undisputed election returns get disposed 5 years after the election. People from the COMELEC still get calls a few months before election from people wanting to obtain their certification that they have won. Scorpion prinz 03:38, 7 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Does the COMELEC archive it or something? Also it seems that there are many disputed elections so this'll be hard. --Howard the Duck 08:22, 13 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

According to the nice lady I talked to at the Statistics Division, all undisputed election returns are disposed after 5 years. no archive of some sorts. --Scorpion prinz ^{(Talk | contribs)} 11:37, 19 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Merger[edit]

Following observations by MistahPeemayer, I propose a merger of Electoral process in the Philippines to this article for basically being the same content albeit less developed. Borgenland (talk) 06:21, 17 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Strong Support for speedy merger. This article only creates confusion. - MistahPeemayer (talk) 12:38, 17 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I just went BOLD and redirected it here. You can merge anything from the history. The article was completely unsourced, so there shouldn't be any controversy with redirecting it. Dennis Brown 2¢ 13:30, 17 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
