Manila, March 28 -- The Commission on Elections (Comelec) on Friday completed the printing of 68,431,865 voters' information sheets (VIS) for the May 12 midterm elections.

In a press briefing at the National Printing Office in Quezon City, Comelec Chairperson George Erwin Garcia said the number is equvalent to the total number of registered voters in the country.

The printing was completed in 47 days.

"That is just for local voters. Overseas voting is not included. You (registered voter) should receive this from your local Comelec. Not from the barangay. We are not sending it through the barangay. We have hired personnel to deliver it to you," the poll body chief added.

He noted that they will distribute the VIS even in far-flung area...
