                    [Summary] => 





The Commission on Elections (Comelec) reported yesterday that there are no more legal impediments to the pilot-testing of Internet voting in the coming May 14 senatorial elections.


"I believe that the issue (over the legality of Internet voting) has been settled because no less than the Office of Solicitor General has issued a legal opinion (in favor of the program) on the matter," Commissioner Florentino Tuason Jr. said.

"There are only three things to determine regarding OFWs — their identity, their citizenship status, and their immigration status," said Tuason, who is in charge of overseas voting.

Tuason said a handful of Filipino voters abroad had registered, with less casting their ballots on election day.

The high tribunal voting 8-7, ruled that victory in a recall election does not count as a full term, thus Roman was validly elected in the 2001 gubernatorial elections where he received 97 percent of the votes cast.

The decision of the SC was a hard-fought and well-deserved victory for Roman, one of this year’s Most Outstanding Governors and recipient of Galing Pook Award of Excellence from Malacañang.

Comelec commissioners Rufino Javier, Ralph Lantion, Mehol Sadain and Luzviminda Tancangco earlier asked the poll body’s resident auditor to conduct a special audit on foreign trips made by Benipayo and two other officials for consultations on the Absentee Voting Bill.

They claimed the trips were made without the proper travel authority from the commission en banc.
