Bragado added that the number of DepEd personnel that will participate in the 2022 polls increased compared to the elections in 2019 where a total of 531, 000 DepEd personnel rendered their services.
This 2022 elections, because of the increase in the number of registered voters, the Comelec increased the number of clustered precincts. So we have 106,000 clustered precincts,
