The gun ban was previously slated from August 28 to November 14 only.
The filing of certificates of candidacy was likewise moved to August from July after Senator Francis Tolentino called for its postponement to avoid “burdening” local government units.
As of last week, the Comelec already printed 91 million ballots for the elections.
