TRECE MARTIRES CITY, Cavite – Plans are afoot to reschedule the new voter’s registration by the Commission on Elections (COMELEC) Cavite provincial office here following President Rodrigo Roa Duterte’s signing into law of Republic Act 10952 postponing the Barangay and Sangguniang Kabataan (SK) elections to the 2nd Monday of May 2018.
Interviewed by PNA here on Wednesday, Cavite Provincial COMELEC Director, lawyer Sheryl G. Moresca-Rubie, said there are re-scheduling and adjustments to be made following the polls postponement for more than six months from Oct. 23 to May 2018.
Rubie said that they are waiting for new directives from the COMELEC central office as the poll body would meet en banc to discuss the issue within 15 days before a new voters’ registration is scheduled.
She said they are awaiting the decision of the COMELEC main office on what to do with the official ballots that have already been printed supposedly for the Oct. 23 polls.
Rubie said she would be meeting with Cavite police officials on the “change of plan” since the police had been deputized by the poll body for the duration of the earlier scheduled election period from Sept. 21 to Oct. 23.
Rubie added she would be meeting with provincial police officials this week once the COMELEC main office issues the order lifting the gun ban and deactivation of the poll-related checkpoints that were already in place since Sept. 23. (Rogelio Limpin/PNA)
