Bulacan poll officers seek ruling

MALOLOS CITY: Bulacan election officials have asked the Commission on Elections (Comelec) en banc to issue a ruling on a petition to recall Gov. Wilhelmino Sy-Alvarado following legal skirmishes that served to delay the proceedings.

In a letter dated March 23, 2015, election officers said they would proceed with their mandate to process the recall petition while at the same time admitting that the delay had cast doubt on their ability to finish with the recall elections before the Comelec ban. In their petition, they also noted the “emotional and physical exhaustion” that they had been subjected to.
