Political parties and candidates are now required to register all websites and social media pages that they will be using in their campaign for the May 13 midterm elections. According to the Commission on Elections (Comelec) Resolution No. 10488, parties and candidates must register the websites with the Comelec’s education and information department. Comelec spokesperson James Jimenez earlier assured that the new rules would not regulate the content of social media, but only its cost. Jimenez said social media firms involved in election campaign would also be required to submit records of their transactions.
