COMELEC-Ilocos Norte gives tips for smooth voting process on Oct. 30

LAOAG CITY, Ilocos Norte (PIA) – The Commission of Elections (COMELEC)-Ilocos Norte is reiterating some reminders for a safe and smooth voting process come October 30 for the Barangay and Sangguniang Kabataan Election (BSKE) 2023.
 
During a virtual presser, lawyer Alipio Alonzo Castillo III, provincial election supervisor of COMELEC-Ilocos Norte, listed some tips that voters can follow during the election day including voting early to avoid long lines.
 
Manual voting and counting will be implemented during the BSKE thus Alipio reiterated that voters must write clearly the names of their bets.
 
He also encouraged voters to decide before the election day on the candidates they want to vote for and to prepare their list of names of their bets for a faster voting process.
 
Alipio also reiterated that voters need to check their precinct number and sequence number on or before the election day so they know the exact precinct they will vote at.
 
“Tandaan po natin na ang pangalan ng kandidato na nasa listahan ‘yon din ang isulat na pangalan, at wala nang dagdag o bawas, at most of all gandahan ang pagsulat ng pangalan para malinaw sa mga electoral boards o teachers kung ano ang pangalan na sinulat para hindi sayang ‘yong boto,” he added.

In Ilocos Norte, a total of 442,385 are registered voters and are expected to vote on the upcoming BSKE.
 
The cities of Laoag and Batac and the towns of Dingras and San Nicolas have the biggest number of registered voters.
 
COMELEC-Ilocos Norte received a total of 15,652 Certificates of Candidacy (COCs) for the 8,942 Barangay and Sangguniang Kabataan positions to be filled in the province. (JCR/AMB/EJFG/PIA Ilocos Norte)
