CLAIM: Votes for Robredo will be invalidated by voting for a party-list group as ballot ovals for the latter are directly behind her name
RATING: FALSE
Messages circulating in online chat groups falsely claim that votes for presidential candidate Leni Robredo will be invalidated by voting for a party-list group as ballot ovals for the latter are directly behind her name.
These messages also gave the wrong advice that it would be better not to vote for a party-list group so as not to affect the votes for Robredo, who is No. 10 on the ballot.
There is therefore no need for voters to disenfranchise themselves in the party-list elections just to make sure their votes for president are counted.
