2. How to vote on election day in 12 easy steps Step 1: Go to your assigned polling precinct from 6 a. m. to 5 p. m. on May 9
The Commission on Election (Comelec) advises voters to come early and not wait until the last
minute. Look for your name in the voters list posted near the precinct. The Parish Pastoral
Council for Responsible Voting (PPCRV) voter’s assistance desk in the polling place can also help
you look for your precinct, sequence, and room number.
Step 2: Fall in line in the holding area
Step 3: Give your name, valid I. D., and precinct number to the Board of Election Inspectors
(BEIs)
Step 4: Get your ballot, ballot secrecy folder, marker, and go to the voting area
Make sure your ballot is clean of any marks.
Step 5: Vote wisely
Under voting and abstaining is allowed; overvoting is not. If you overvote, the vote will not be
counted. Shade the entire oval corresponding to your candidate of choice. Cover your ballot
using the ballot secrecy folder; even the poll watchers and BEI cannot look at your ballot. Do
not make any other marks on the ballot.
