One hundred sixty-five party-list groups were accredited, allowing them to participate in a raffle set for Dec. 10 to determine their order of listing on the official ballot.
"Participation in the raffle is without prejudice to the resolution of pending incidents and the exclusion on the official ballot, if applicable," the Comelec said.
The poll body added that it has the authority to exclude any party-list group prior to the publication of the final listing subject to pending incidents.
The 1987 Constitution allows party-list groups to participate in the lawmaking process by allocating them 20% of the total membership of the House of Representatives.
According to the Party-list System Law, party-lists should represent the labor, peasant, urban poor, indigenous cultural communities, women, and youth sectors, among others.
Each voter is allowed to vote for one party-list group in the 2022 elections.
