The Comelec has deputized Soldiers, Policemen, and Coast Guard personnel to secure polling precincts and election paraphernalia on election day. Government security forces are mandated to provide security to COMELEC personnel, poll deputies, and other government personnel performing election-related duties. They are likewise tasked to ensure the availability of transportation assets, communications systems, and other equipment that could be used by the commission in conducting the elections.

Brawner, Jr., in his earlier guidance, has reminded Army troops of their two tasks in the coming polls: To practice the right of suffrage and to ensure the safe, orderly, and peaceful conduct of elections. The Army Chief has likewise directed troops to adhere to the military’s non-partisan stance and to refrain from liking, sharing, or posting political content on social media.
