| It's another slow day at the polls after the 4-day holiday |
A male voter has filed a protest after he was deemed to have
voted more than the allowed number of candidates in the ongoing overseas voting
for Filipinos at the Bayanihan Centre in Kennedy Town
Consul Paul Saret told a media briefing earlier today, Apr
23, that the male voter had vehemently claimed he shaded exactly 12 circles
corresponding to his chosen senatorial candidates.
The voter’s protest was immediately forwarded by the
election secretariat to the Commission on Elections in Manila
According to Consul Saret, the same voter had earlier tried
to take a photograph of his ballot but was told off by members of the Special
Board of Election Inspectors as the act is prohibited by law.
But for that over-voting incident, the vote-counting
machines worked smoothly today, according to the inspectors and poll watchers,
who said it could be because of the fine weather.
About 320 voters cast their ballots during the day, bringing
the total for the first 11days of overseas voting beyond the 10,000 mark.
The day’s total was less than half of about 750 voters who trooped
to Bayanihan Centre yesterday, which was a public holiday.
Poll inspectors say the polling center could become
inordinately busy if or when Iglesia ni Cristo members cast their votes en
masse.
Members of another big religious group, Jesus Is Lord
church, have already begun voting, presumably for party-list group Cibac
(Citizens’ Battle Against Corruption), which was founded by their spiritual
leader, Eddie Villanueva. – Vir B.
