30 January 2007 at 5:15 pm · Filed under All Posts, COMELEC News, Election Notes, May 14, 2007 Elections, News

Commission on Elections (COMELEC) Commissioner Florentino A. Tuason today said that the provision in Comelec Resolution No. 7767, the implementing rules and regulations of the Fair Elections Act (RA 9006), that limits the publication of surveys affecting national and local candidates has been corrected.

COMELEC Spokesperson James Jimenez reiterated that the insertion of the provision in the resolution was the result of inadvertence and not at all intended to curtail the people’s right to information and limit the freedom of the press.

He said copies of the amended resolution will be available once all Commissioners have affixed their signatures on the document.
