Using a consolidation/canvassing system server (CCS), the municipal or city board of canvassers will consolidate the results from the precincts. This will then be electronically transmitted to the provincial board of canvassers together with the certificate of canvass (COC). Once the results are counted, the COMELEC can declare the winning candidates at the city and municipal level.
