Kodigo: allowed in poll precincts according to Comelec Chair.
Chairman Andres Bautista of the Commission on Elections (Comelec) said in a radio interview with dzBB that bringing “kodigo” inside voting precincts is allowed on election day, May 9, 2016.
“In fact, iyon ang ating iminumungkahi. Bibilis iyan kung may dalang kodigo… listahan ng inyong iboboto,” the Comelec chair said in a report published by GMA News.
“Puwede po iyan pero may distansya kung saan puwedeng ipamigay ang sample ballots na iyan,” he added.
The Comelec chief noted that voters should not rely on the sample ballots during the poll. He urged the voters to make a list for a hassle free voting.
“Payo sa mga botante ay gumawa ng sarili nila[ng listahan]. Sila ang magsaliksik at mag-aral. Tingnan nila kung sino ba ang lider nila na dapat piliin,” said.
