Practice question
A cancellation petitioner produces reliable proof of deliberate false statements in the minutes of the election of union officers and the voter list. The union invokes RA 9481’s protection against cancellation for mere reportorial omissions and says election fraud can never be a ground. Which distinction controls?
- The statute separately lists election-related misrepresentation, false statements or fraud as cancellation grounds, subject to due hearing
- Every false election record is immune
- Reportorial protection repealed every cancellation ground
- Cancellation occurs automatically without hearing
- Only the employer may decide registration status
