MARAWI CITY, Lanao del Sur, May 3 (PIA) -- The Commission on Elections (COMELEC) will hold a special Barangay and Sangguniang Kabataan (SK) elections in the three barangays in the province next week.
Lawyer Nasib Yasin, Provincial Election Supervisor, said the special elections will be conducted in Barangays Bialaan and Patong in the municipality of Bayang, and in Barangay Tulay in Madamba town.
He said the manual voting will start at 7:00 a.m. and end at 3:00 p.m. on Saturday, May 12.
Positions to be voted for are barangay chairman, seven Kagawads, SK Chairman, and seven SK Kagawads.
Earlier, the COMELEC has issued Resolution No. 9405 setting forth the rules and regulations governing the conduct of May 12, 2012 special Barangay and SK polls in the three barangays, as well as in Barangay Lipat-on in Calatrava, Negros Occidental.
The said resolution provided that official candidates for the mentioned positions during the October 25, 2010 Barangay and SK elections are the candidates to be voted for on Saturday.
Also, all qualified and duly registered voters of the said barangays as of October 25, 2010 polls are entitled to vote in the special elections.
COMELEC declared a failure of elections in the three barangays last October 2010. According to Provincial Election Supervisor Yasin, violence during the conduct of elections was the main reason why it was declared a failure.
