The Commonwealth Election Commission wants to hold the March 23 special election at the Garapan and Oleai elementary schools\u2014the traditional polling places for Precinct 3 voters.<\/p>\n
Due to typhoon damage at the Garapan and Oleai schools, the polling sites for Precinct 3 voters last November were moved to Garapan Central Park and at the Marianas Visitors Authority office in Oleai\/San Jose.<\/p>\n
CEC executive director Julita Villagomez said yesterday that they had already asked the Public School System to allow them to use the cafeterias of the Garapan and Oleai schools.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe want to go back to the old system,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n
They were told that the Oleai school is still renovating its cafeteria. Villagomez said they asked for a classroom instead.<\/p>\n
Villagomez said they are still awaiting reply from Education Commissioner Glenn Mu\u00f1a.<\/p>\n
As of last Jan. 28, there were 3,361 registered voters for Precinct 3. <\/p>\n
CEC closed the registration for Precinct 3 last Jan. 23.<\/p>\n
The special election became necessary with the demise of Rep. Francisco D. Dela Cruz last month. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
