Failure of Election. - If, on account of force majeure, violence, terrorism, or fraud the election in any precinct or precincts has not been held on the date herein fixed or has been suspended before the hour fixed by law for the closing of the voting and such failure or suspension of election in any precinct or precincts would alter the result of the election for any office to be voted in said election, the Commission may, on the basis of a verified petition and after due notice and hearing, call for the holding or continuation of the election on a date reasonably close to the date of the election not held or suspended: Provided, however, That the holding or continuation of the election on the date fixed by the Commission shall not be effective unless confirmed by the Supreme Court.
For this purpose the Commission shall immediately certify to the Supreme Court its resolution for review, transmitting with it the pertinent records of the proceedings.
