It’s all systems go for the country’s first automated elections on May 10 as the Supreme Court dismissed all petitions seeking the postponement of the polls, a spokesman for the high court said Friday.
The high tribunal cited the “failure of the petitioners to exhaust all remedies” and that there was “no grave abuse of discretion” on the part of the Commission on Elections, said lawyer Jose Midas Marquez after the court’s special en banc session.
