CBCP: Comelec accountable for election irregularities

THE Catholic Bishops Conference of the Philippines (CBCP) on Monday demanded that the Commission on Elections (Comelec) should be held accountable for poll irregularities during the May 13 midterm polls.

“After one experience of the automated elections, this year’s election should have been better. But it was not. We call for accountability from Comelec officials and demand that the law be followed,” the CBCP said during a press briefing after the 107th CBCP Plenary Assembly in Pope Pius Manila.
