Atty. Nasib Yasin, Provincial Election Supervisor, said the Commission on Elections (Comelec) has promulgated Resolution No. 9218, last week, moving again the period for the filing of COC to afford more time for the pre-election preparations relative to the upcoming regional elections.
The filing of COC was originally set from May 9-13, 2011 and was later reset to May 14-18, 2011 and finally to May 19-23, this year.
He said the period for holding political conventions to select and nominate official party candidates for the ARMM elections was also moved to not later than May 18, 2011.
On August 8, voters in the autonomous region will elect the Regional Governor, Regional Vice-Governor, and members of the Regional Legislative Assembly (RLA).
Meanwhile, Yasin said the filing of COCs for the gubernatorial and vice-gubernatorial posts should be done at the Office of the Regional Election Director while COCs for the position of the members of RLA should be filed at the Office of the PES concerned.
The filing of COCs shall be held from 8am to 5pm, inclusive of Saturdays and Sundays, Yasin added. (PIA10)
