Ang Tinig ng Seniors is included in the list after securing a TRO from the High Court.
In December 2021, the Supreme Court issued the TRO on the Comelec rulings denying the registration of Ang Tinig ng Seniors, Igorot Warriors International and Alliance for Resilience, Sustainability and Empowerment as their petitions "appear to be sufficient in form and substance."
The Comelec said the list may still change in the coming days.
"Participation in the raffle is without prejudice to the disposition of any TRO, which the Supreme Court may issue after the publication of the final list and before finalization of the ballot face," it said. (PNA)
