A Pocket Guide to Ballot Appreciation


Comelec Director Dennis Ausan holds a copy of his book.

Centralian Dennis Ausan, a lawyer, holds a Career Service Executive Eligibility (CSEE), and Director of Commission on Elections, Region 6, has published his third legal reference book: A Pocket Guide to Ballot Appreciation. The book was intended for election workers, COMELEC officers, teachers and legal circles (i.e. judges, lawyers, and law students). Because of the demand for Director Ausan to answer conflict situations, cases after elections, and poll protests, he formulated a solution which he made available for everyone through the publication of the guide book. The pocket guide was printed out of his desire to help his people in the COMELEC offices in Region 6, Ausan admitted.

His other published works, Compendium on Pre-Proclamation Controversies and Compendium on Election Laws, have been very helpful to COMELEC offices and legal practitioners.

The COMELEC Director is a graduate of Political Science Batch 1984 at CPU College of Arts and Sciences and a CPU Alumni Awardee for Government Service. He finished Law at the University of San Agustin, Iloilo City. He is a brother of Atty. Leo Tito Ausan Jr., Deputy Consul General of Vancouver, Canada. Ausan is married to another government official, Mrs. Mara M. Ausan. Mrs. Ausan is the Deputy Register of Deeds of Iloilo City and the Acting Register of Deeds of the Province of Guimaras.  His daughter Kaye Therese is a fourth year student taking up Bachelor of Science in Business Administration, Major in Management with specialization in Business Analytics at the University of Asia and the Pacific; his son Ken Justin is in Grade 10 at Ateneo de Iloilo.
