Comelec NegOr ready for
SK election in Feb
BY JUDY F. PARTLOW
The Commission on Elections in Negros Oriental yesterday said it is all set to hold the Sangguniang Kabataan elections on February 21, this year, even as the Comelec central office decided to reset the election period from Feb. 6 to March 2, or 15 days before election day and nine days after.
The original election period was supposed to start yesterday and end March 2. But Comelec chairman Sixto Brillantes said the decision to change the start of the election period is to give the senators time to decide if they will allow or postpone the youth polls, a government press release said.
He added the gun ban and other prohibitions related to the election period will start only on Feb. 6, but if the Senate decides to postpone the SK elections, the ban will no longer apply.
