THE 25 percent threshold for valid vote set by the Commission on Elections (Comelec) for the 2016 polls upholds the intent of the voter, Vice President Maria Leonor “Leni” Robredo said on Sunday.

Robredo was responding to the Comelec’s comment filed before the Supreme Court, which affirmed Robredo’s position that the ongoing recount for the 2016 Vice Presidential race should use a 25 percent valid vote threshold based on the Comelec resolutions that were issued for the 2016 polls.
