Comelec official sees recurring poll woes

CAMP DANGWA, La Trinidad, Benguet: The Cordillera office of the Commission on Elections (Comelec-CAR) predicted that despite the conduct of the most peaceful elections in the region in the May 2013 mid-term polls, various election problems will be recurring once concerned stakeholders go remiss in doing their respective duties and responsibilities, especially in maintaining peace nationwide.

Jose Nick Mendros, Comelec-CAR regional director, said that there is a big possibility that rampant election-related violence and vote buying among others could recur in future elections, thus, the need for continuous vigilance among election stakeholders.
