The Commission on Elections has released the final design of the ballots  for the May 9 elections, which include the names of the official candidates for president, vice president, senator, and local positions.

The official ballots show that there will be 10 official candidates for president, nine candidates for vice president, and 64 candidates for senator listed at the front page. The names of the candidates for local elections per district are also found at the front page.

At the back page, the names of 177 partylist groups are listed with their corresponding ballot numbers. Slot number 96 was skipped as it was previously assigned to the Malasakit Movement partylist of former MMDA spokesperson Celine Pialago before it was excluded.
