Practice question
Recall organizers in an LGU with a relevant voting population of 50,000 collect 10,000 valid supporting signatures. An official rejects the petition solely because all LGUs supposedly need twenty-five percent, relying on the unamended Code. Assume all other requirements are met. Which is best?
- The universal twenty-five-percent premise is outdated; the applicable twenty-percent tier is met
- Every LGU requires exactly twenty-five percent
- The preparatory assembly must replace the petition
- All population tiers were abolished
- Valid signatures never matter
