THE Commission on Elections (Comelec) en banc, sitting as the national board of canvassers (NBOC), convened on the afternoon of election day, supposedly to start the canvassing of votes for senators and party-list representatives. However, after the usual preliminaries, it announced the deferment of the canvassing and ordered the continuance at 1 p.m. the following day, May 14.
