“Petitioner respectfully prays and reiterates his motion for the issuance of a temporary restraining order and/or status quo ante order directing the public respondents and all persons and officials acting on their behalf to cease and desist from implementing R.A. No. 11935,” Macalintal said in their motion.
Macalintal also noted that he doubts that the earliest Comelec can hold the BSKE is by May 2023, considering that it might need less than two weeks to print ballots that would be used. He also added that the poll body and its officials already have sufficient experience in conducting either manual or automated elections.
Prior to this motion, Macalintal filed a petition to reverse the effects of R.A. No. 11935, although it may no longer be possible with December 5 being just a few weeks away.
