Practice question
A registered voter files a timely sworn petition to exclude another voter and supplies the identifying details required by RA 8189. He deliberately provides no notice to the Board or challenged voter because the proceeding is summary. What is the defect?
- Summary procedure abolishes every notice requirement.
- Only the petitioner's signature matters.
- Every exclusion petition must instead go to private arbitration.
- The petition is automatically meritorious because it is sworn.
- The omission conflicts with the required proof of notice to the Board and challenged voter.
