THE Commission on Elections (Comelec) will form its own cybersecurity department to protect voters and vital election-related information from cyberattacks.

Comelec spokesman John Rex Laudiangco said over the weekend that the cybersecurity division, which will be under the poll body's Information Technology department, is part of ongoing structural reforms to enable the Comelec to keep pace with fast-changing technology.
