VOTING LOCATION

Voting locations are places where eligible individuals can cast their votes during elections.
These locations are typically designated by electoral authorities and can include polling stations,
voting centers, or other specified venues where voters go to participate in the democratic process.
The exact locations and procedures may vary by country and region.

VOTING METHODS

The Philippines is one of the democracies in Asia. Like most democracies, the 1987 Philippine
Constitution guarantees the right to vote and is facilitated as much as possible. This election was
held simultaneously to elect presidential candidates, regional heads, and legislators at various
levels.

At the national level, elections are used to select presidential and vice presidential candidates
separately, senators directly, and party-list.
At the local level, elections are used to elect governors and deputy governors separately in 81
provinces, mayors and deputy mayors separately in 146 cities, and municipal mayors and
municipal vice mayors in 1,488 municipalities throughout the Philippines

For legislative elections, Filipinos elect members of the House of Representatives with city and
district-based electoral districts. In addition, at the local level, voters will choose members of
Sangguniang Panlalawigan (Provincial DPRD), Sangguniang Panlulungsod (City DPRD), and
Sangguniang Bayan (Municipal DPRD). All types of elections, carried out simultaneously.

CANDIDATE INFORMATION

Voters should be well informed as to exactly which candidates are standing for election and
what the key messages of their campaign are.

Voters' decisions in board of directors, work council or supervisory board elections run the risk of
being compromised by false information, or indeed a lack of information, which would effectively
cancel out all your hard work in organizing and administering the election.

In order to reduce this risk, make sure you promote the flow of information extensively through
all available channels.
