QUEZON CITY, (PIA) --In anticipation of the upcoming Barangay and Sangguniang Kabataan (SK) Elections set for October 30, the Commission on ElectionS (COMELEC) hosted a voting simulation exercise at the Robinson's Mall in Las Piñas on Tuesday, October 17th.
The event aimed to test the preparedness of both the electoral body and the voting public, as well as to identify any potential issues that could arise on election day.
Gracing the occasion were notable COMELEC officials including Chairman Atty. George Garcia, and Commissioners Nelson Celis and Atty. Rey Bulay.
The simulation was a crucial step in ensuring that the electoral procedures are followed, and to make any necessary adjustments before the actual elections.
It also served as an educational endeavor to familiarize voters with the voting process, in an effort to make the real event run as smoothly as possible.
The undertaking is part of COMELEC's broader strategy to ensure free, fair, and efficient elections at the barangay and SK levels. It adds to a series of measures the commission has been implementing, which include voter education campaigns and the vetting of candidates.
The results of the simulation will be analyzed thoroughly to address any weaknesses or areas for improvement, as the commission gears up for what is expected to be a critical electoral exercise later this month. (lp pio/pia-ncr)
