“Barring any problems kanang naay mga problema sa presinto dali lang gyud magboto kay shading lang tayo but pagsulod sa eskwelahan mag-undergo pa ang voter ug thermal scanning kung taas ang iyahang temperatura and then if okay siya, then the voter kung wala pa sila kabalo asa siya magboto ug wala pa niya na verify ang iyahang presinto mag proceed siya sa amoang voter’s desk,” she said.
Enumerables also reminded the public that it is not allowed to take pictures while voting and taking pictures of the ballot inside the polling precinct this election.
