General Instructions for 2010 Election

The General Instructions (GI) on the Election Automation Law – considered the bible for all candidates, poll watchers, lawyers and other practitioners in the campaign and election exercises - will be out by the end of October. In this regard, the Center for Global Best Practices is launching a pioneering program entitled, "The Law on Election Automation: General Instructions on voting, canvassing, transmission, protest mechanisms and continuity".

This is the only and most comprehensive program that will lay down the entire GI blueprint of the 2010 Election. It will be held on 9 December 2009 at the EDSA Shangri-La Hotel, Mandaluyong City. It is the first and only seminar that will provide the complete implementing rules and regulations (IRR) on the poll automation law. In any question of law and procedure, the official reference for the 2010 election exercises will be the GI.

The one-time event will feature the following lecturers:

Atty. Rene V. Sarmiento – Commissioner, COMELEC. Commissioner, 1986 Constitutional Commission of the Republic of the Philippines that drafted the 1987 Constitution of the Republic of the Philippines. For more than a decade, he served as a member, later on the Vice-Chairman of the Government of the Republic of the Philippines’ (GRP) Panel for Talks with the CPP/NPA/NDF.
