Filipino Voters Favor Governance Ahead of Elections

As the Philippines gears up for the 2025 midterm elections, a survey reveals that the majority of Filipino voters prioritize good governance, transparency, and accountability among candidates. Concurrently, the Punjab and Haryana High Court has mandated enhanced security measures at polling stations for local elections in Punjab, emphasizing the need for free and fair polls. In the U.S., states like Iowa have reported high voter trust in their election processes, while calls for stricter election integrity measures continue, particularly concerning foreign funding of ballot initiatives. Meanwhile, preparations for the Ludhiana Municipal Corporation elections are underway, with officials ensuring robust security and procedural integrity for the upcoming vote on December 21. Across various jurisdictions, the focus remains on maintaining election integrity and bolstering voter confidence as new legislative changes are anticipated in 2025. These developments reflect a growing global emphasis on election security and accountability as critical components of democratic governance.
