About this document
COMELEC Authority in Election Canvassing by Hanamichi Sakuragi Goku San is a document available to read on EtoBox.
The COMELEC annulled a Certificate of Canvass from Matanog, Maguindanao after finding it had been tampered with. It then created new canvassing boards to recanvass the votes. The petitioner argued this was premature. The Supreme Court ruled that the COMELEC has broad powers to ascertain true election results, including annulling falsified documents and replacing canvassing boards. It dismissed the petition, affirming the COMELEC did not gravely abuse its discretion in this case.
