It has requested that the Commonwealth Election Commission allow it to inspect all used, defaced, and unused ballots, documents, records, video recordings, and other election-related items.
The party claims there were several irregularities that may call into question the validity of the election results.
The election was delayed a week due to the destruction wrought by Super Typhoon Yutu.
The typhoon knocked out the power grid, making most polling places dependent on generator power and also made unusable a couple of counting machines, forcing the Commission to borrow from neighbouring Guam.
