Philippines politician: dead people shouldn't vote

Awesome concept dont ya think
maybe something some of these backwoods southern towns should follow too!

too bad they have to make it a law before commonsense actually takes affect.
but what i dont understand is the ones facing imprisonment are they already dead?

the article
A politician in the Philippines, frustrated by rampant electoral fraud, has proposed legislation to take the names of dead people off voter rolls.

The bill must go through a long legislative process before becoming law. If enacted, government officials or employees would face up to 10 years imprisonment and be disqualified from public office.
