“The IATF has no issue to the Commission on Elections conducting nationwide mock election exercises on December 29, 2021, in order to ensure the safe and effective conduct of the 2022 National and Local Elections,” Nograles added.

Teofisto Elnas Jr., the Comelec’s Deputy Executive Director for Operations, had previously stated that the entire procedure would be demonstrated from beginning to end.
