As the number of SCOs issued to candidates in the province has risen to 107, a total of 56 were issued to aspirants in E.B. Magalona alone as of Oct. 11.
Additional 15 SCOs were also issued to candidates in Manapla, two in Cauayan and one in Sagay.
All the SCOs issued have already been served, according to the Comelec.
