ROXAS CITY, Capiz – The Commission on Elections distributed 539,459 official ballots and indelible inks on Monday, May 5, to 16 towns and Roxas City in preparation for the May 12, 2025, national and local elections.

Atty. Salud Milagros Villanueva, provincial election supervisor for Capiz, said the ballots will be distributed to 773 clustered precincts.
