School in Cebu City Prepared for May 12 Voting Day
Rewritten Article:
Gear up, Cebu City! Cebu City Central School, one of the major voting hubs in the city, is nearly set for the 2025 midterm elections, with just 1% left to go. According to Caroll Anne Veloso, a Department of Education supervisor at the school, everything's in place - the polling stations are set up, and all Automated Counting Machines (ACM) are secured.
With three supervisors overseeing election-related activities in their respective districts, the school is all set for a smooth and fair voting process.
Veloso highlighted that Cebu City Central School houses 21 clustered precincts, each equipped with a waiting area. The school also boasts three Priority Polling Places (PPP), formerly known as Emergency Accessible Polling Places (EAPP). These PPPs are key in making voting accessible for vulnerable groups, particularly Persons with Disabilities, senior citizens, and pregnant women, who should find their voting stations on the first or ground floors.
Out of the 21 clustered precincts, nine serve Barangay Ermita, four cater to Kamagayan, and four are for Cogon Ramos. The remaining precincts are assigned to San Antonio and Kalubihan.
Veloso encourages voters assigned at the Cebu City Central School to check the "Precinct Finder" on the Commission on Elections (COMELEC) website before heading to the polls. She also recommends bringing water and patience, as lines might be lengthy on Election Day, May 12.
Veloso's ultimate goal? A peaceful and orderly 2025 midterm election.
