Comelec to establish makeshift voting centers
The Commission on Elections (Comelec) will utilize makeshift voting centers in the May 2022 polls for voters whose polling centers were damaged by Tropical Storm Agaton.
Comelec Executive Director Bartolome J. Sinocruz, Jr. confirmed that directives have been issued to regional offices to construct temporary polling stations using wooden materials.
These makeshift centers will be sized to accommodate the number of voters in affected areas.
For areas where makeshift precincts are not necessary, voting centers have been relocated.
Sinocruz assured that election paraphernalia, voting machines, consolidation and canvassing systems, and BGAN were not damaged by Agaton as they were still in transit or at ports at the time of the storm.
