← Political LawMULTIPLE CHOICE
Anton was the duly elected Mayor of Tunawi in the local elections of 2004. He got 51% of all the votes cast. Fourteen months later, Victoria, who also ran for mayor, filed with the Local Election Registrar, a petition for recall against Anton. The COMELEC approved the petition and set a date for its signing by other qualified voters in order to garner at least 25% of the total number of registered voters or total number of those who actually voted during the local election in 2005, whichever is lower. Anton attacked the COMELEC resolution for being invalid. Do you agree with Anton? (A) No, the petition, though initiated by just one person, may be ratified by at least 25% of the total number of registered voters. (B) No, the petition, though initiated by just one person may be ratified by at least 25% of those who actually voted during the 2004 local elections. (C) Yes, the petition should be initiated by at least 25% of the total number of registered voters who actually voted during the 2004 local elections. (D) Yes, the petition should be initiated by at least 25% of the total number of registered voters of Tunawi.
