This was the statement of Commission on Elections (COMELEC) Chairman George Garcia on Thursday at the University of Santo Tomas (UST).

This does not mean, however, that voting in schools will no longer take place.

The polls chief said mall voting will be of no additional cost to the government.

The partnership will supposedly be beneficial to mall owners since more people will flock to their establishments and spend on food and other merchandise.

The specific malls that will be used for voting have yet to be identified.
