The Commonwealth Election Commission board will hold an emergency meeting this Monday, Nov. 5, to change the designated polling places for the Nov. 13 general election.<\/p>\n
CEC executive director Julita A. Villagomez said they cannot use the previous final designated polling places on Saipan and Tinian as a result of Super Typhoon Yutu\u2019s devastation. Many of the polling places are schools\u2014many of which were damaged by the typhoon.<\/p>\n
Villagomez said the board would need to adopt the changes for designated polling sites during the emergency meeting at CEC\u2019s office in Susupe Monday at 1pm.<\/p>\n
Rota\u2019s designated polling place has not been changed.<\/p>\n
CEC had adopted the final list of designated polling places last Oct. 18.<\/p>\n
On Tuesday, Nov. 6, the early election for Saipan, Tinian, and Rota will commence. <\/p>\n
Early voting for Saipan, Tinian, and Rota was supposed to commence last Oct. 30, while the general election was originally set for Nov. 6. <\/p>\n
Gov. Ralph DLG. Torres last Monday postponed the early voting and the general election due to Super Typhoon Yutu\u2019s devastation on Saipan and Rota.<\/p>\n
Villagomez said the early voting for Saipan will be at the Pedro P. Tenorio Multi-Purpose Center, while on Tinian it\u2019s either at the Northern Marianas College-Tinian or at Tinian High School, and on Rota it will be at NMC-Rota.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
