The Commission on Elections (Comelec) is considering extending voting hours in Dasmariñas City due to ongoing heavy rainfall. Comelec Chair George Garcia announced the possibility as voters began participating in special elections to fill a vacant congressional seat. The decision to extend hours will be based on prevailing weather conditions, aiming to ensure maximum voter participation. The special polls were called following the vacancy left by the previous representative. Officials are monitoring the situation closely to mitigate any potential disruption to the voting process. The goal is to allow all eligible voters the opportunity to cast their ballots despite the inclement weather, and a final decision will be made shortly.
