The Commission on Elections (COMELEC) received around a hundred election protests and petitions for quo warranto, contesting the results of the elections for city and provincial positions in the recently concluded May 10, 2010 elections.
An election protest is “a petition contesting the elections or returns of an elective regional, provincial, or city official.” It may be filed by any candidate who was voted for in the same office and who received the second of third highest number of votes or, in a multi-slot position, was among the next four candidates following the last ranked winner duly proclaimed, as reflected in the official results of the election contained in the Statement of Votes (COMELEC Resolution No. 8804, Rule 6, section 2).
On the other hand, a petition for quo warranto refers to an election contest relating to the qualifications of an elective regional, provincial or city official on the ground of ineligibility or of disloyalty to the Republic of the Philippines. It may be filed by registered voter (1993 COMELEC Rules of Procedure, Rule 21, sec. 1).
Under the Rules, an election protest or a petition for quo warranto must be filed within a non-extendible period of ten (10) days after the proclamation (COMELEC Resolution No. 8804, Rule 6, section 3).
