Also, the poll body released the ballot faces for every region in the country.
Earlier, the Comelec said the national and local positions will be on the front page of the ballot while the party-list groups will be at the back of the ballot.
The ballots will be different from the ones to be used in the local polls and overseas elections.
Overseas voters, meanwhile, will only pick bets for national posts -- president, vice president, senator, and party-list. (PNA)
