Baguio Election Officer Atty. John Paul Martin has assured the public that his office will address complaints regarding online surveys conducted by certain pages that appear to manipulate voter perception.

These surveys are allegedly designed to create the illusion that a particular candidate is leading, potentially misleading the electorate. Martin emphasized his commitment to ensuring fair and transparent electoral processes, urging voters to remain vigilant against deceptive tactics.

The Commission on Elections (COMELEC) recently issued a resolution regulating the conduct of surveys. It emphasized that survey organizations must register and adhere to strict guidelines, including transparency in methodologies and disclosure of financiers. This measure aims to ensure credibility, prevent manipulation, and uphold the integrity of the electoral process.

In Baguio, a female personality has allegedly gained notoriety for posting surveys that fail to comply with the COMELEC resolution. These surveys have raised concerns about their credibility and potential influence on voter perception, highlighting the need for stricter enforcement of election regulations.
