Around 42% of Cavite's 7th district voters took part in the special polls to elect their new representative, which was lower than what the Commission on Elections (Comelec) expected.
[Translation: In our experience with special elections and plebiscite, we don’t know why our countrymen do not give them much attention. The provincial election supervisor and all election officers from municipalities and cities in the Cavite districts conducted a massive information dissemination and education campaign.]— Amadeo: 46.01% or 13,422 valid ballots counted out of 29,171 registered voters— Trece Martires: 42.
The voter turnout is 86.93%, the highest in a province-wide plebiscite based on percentage. The creation of the Compostela Valley from Davao del Norte in 1998 ranks second.
Garcia also clarified the poll body prints out ballots and creates necessary paraphernalia based on the official count of registered voters and not on estimated tallies. “Observers noted that some members of EBs appeared frustrated during the closing process because the scissors provided were not big enough to cut the unused ballots, and the envelopes provided to them for the unused ballots were too small,” Namfrel said.Pagkatapos na pagkatapos na mabigyan siya ng
