ELECTION 2013
The next National and Local
Elections will be held on May 13, 2013 the second Monday of May (as stipulated
in Section 2 of R.A. 7166).
This year the scheduled start of the campaign
period for local elections officially begins on Good Friday. Since the
Philippines is predominantly Catholic, solemnity is expected to give way to the
din of various campaign jingles and sweet promises of political candidates
vying for votes for the May 13 polls.
According to Atty. Glicerio Alarcon,
the COMELEC Officer of Trece Martires, “the campaign period for local
candidates was supposed to start on Good Friday; however, campaigning on that
day as well as on Maundy Thursday is prohibited, according to Commission on
Elections (COMELEC) Resolution 9385”.
There are three (3) important
reminders fro the voters (1) completely fill the circle beside the name of the
candidate you are voting for (2) use only the markers provided and lastly (3)
do not vote more than what is needed for a position. An example is the
senatorial candidates are 33 in all, you must onl.y mark 12 circles or your
vote will be void.
