The Commission on Elections has temporarily postponed the printing of ballots for two Philippine electoral exercises. One covers the plebiscite in Naga City, the other the special congressional elections in Batanes. Both printing jobs were originally slated for Wednesday, Oct. 14. In an advisory issued on Tuesday, the poll body announced the deferral. Comelec said the schedule will first be revised before the presses start rolling. The short notice leaves officials on the ground, candidates and voters waiting for a new timetable. Ballot printing is usually pegged to finalized plebiscite questions and certified candidate lists, which may explain the reset. For now, residents in both areas will have to wait a bit longer before casting their votes.
