In a resolution promulgated Wednesday, the Comelec en banc extended the period for some activities for the Bangsamoro elections including the 29 August deadline for the conduct of Party Convention.

It has now been moved to 30 September.

Moreover, the 30 August deadline for filing the MIP has been rescheduled to 8 October.

"Necessary measures should be taken to facilitate the smooth submission of the MIP within the extended period," the Comelec said.
