The Commission on Elections (Comelec) has approved the recalibrated rules for campaigning under the new normal.
"Recalibrated rules for campaigning under the new normal approved," Comelec Commissioner George Garcia said Wednesday, March 16, after attending their en Banc meeting.
"No more Comelec Campaign Committee (CCC) permits for level 1 and 2, 100 percent capacity for venues under level 1 and 70 percent under level 2," he added.
In the previous in-person campaign guidelines of the Comelec, no election campaign activity shall be conducted without first obtaining the prior approval from the corresponding CCC.
Areas under Alert Level 1 were previously allowed up to 70 percent capacity. For areas under Alert Level 2, up to 50 percent capacity.
Meanwhile, Garcia was also asked regarding the reported distribution of white envelopes containing money at a sortie.
He said:"We will wait for the proper complaint to be filed so that we can take action thereon."
