The Supreme Court has created a sub-committee, which will be tasked to propose amendments, until April 20 this year, to existing rules on election cases that fall under the jurisdiction of first and second-level courts.

According to Macalintal, election protests are filed 10 days after an election, so cases are expected to be filed on May 24, 25 and 26.
