This humble work is admittedly a modest attempt at untangling the Gordian knot, so to speak, that shackles what would ideally be a wholistic appreciation of Philippine election laws and rules, by delving into the evolution of Philippine election statutes, commencing from the olden days when we as a people first donned our right of suffrage and leading to the present time when we have swung into the modern age of automated and digitized electoral processes. Such measured and methodical exploration is complemented by the author’s in-depth study of extant special procedural rules and prevailing case laws that have permeated our evolving electoral legal system.
