Early Voting Bill
« on: January 28, 2010, 10:03:07 AM »
The Senate lived up to its promise to approve priority measures as it passed on second reading the Senate Bill 2972, allowing early voting for members of the media, detainees, inmates and law enforcers including members of the Bureau of Jail Management and Penology (BJMP).

The measure also allowed the early voting in the election hotspots including in the Autonomous Region of Muslim Mindanao (ARMM) where 57 people have been massacred while on their way to the filing of certificate of candidacy.

”I’m confident that the bill will be approved on third and final reading by Monday next week,” Sen. Richard Gordon, the bill author and father of modernization in the Philippines, said after the bill approval on Wednesday night.

Gordon said the Commission on Elections (Comelec) has been given authority until March 10 to determine the date of the early voting.

”Once it will be approved on third and final reading on Monday, it will be immediately forwarded at the bicam where I expect smooth passage,” Gordon said.

The House of Representatives approved on Tuesday on third and final reading its own version of the bill, House Bill 6928.

Gordon explained that the results of the early voting will not be counted during the actual counting and canvassing of the results of the country’s first automated national and local elections on May 10 this year.

The early voting bill known as ‘An Act Allowing Early Voting in National and Local Elections” was filed last December as proposed by the Comelec. (PNA)

John 3:16-18 ESV
For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son (Jesus Christ), that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but in order that the world might be saved through him. Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only Son of God.
