BARMM
The Legal Network for Truthful Elections (LENTE) urged the Bangsamoro Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (BARMM) Parliament to retain the 'none of the above' or NOTA option on ballots for the region's first parliamentary elections, calling it a substantive democratic mechanism to reflect voter dissatisfaction. The BARMM Parliament's committee approved its removal on January 19 to simplify voting and prevent confusion. LENTE argued that NOTA provides voters with a genuine and meaningful alternative choice in the Bangsamoro elections.
