MANILA, Philippines - Party-list group Alyansa ng Media at Showbiz (AMS) yesterday asked the Commission on Elections (Comelec) to allow members of media to vote ahead of the May 10 elections.
In a three-page petition, the party reasoned that media workers might not be able to vote on election day because they have to work to cover the polls.
“The worst thing that could happen to a Filipino citizen is to be deprived of his right to vote,” the group said.
The group asked the Comelec to allow members of the media to vote during their systems test, and use this opportunity to identify problems in the use of the precinct count optical scan (PCOS) machines.
The media, on the other hand, will be better informed about the voting process before the actual synchronized national elections.
The group also petitioned that the votes cast during the systems test period be counted as official.
