With early voting slow but smooth on all three islands, the Commonwealth Election Commission reminded voters yesterday that the last day to cast early votes will be on Monday. <\/p>\n
CEC executive director Julita A. Villagomez noted that voters from Tinian, Rota, and the Northern Islands who are currently on Saipan should vote on or before Monday.<\/p>\n
If these voters fail to vote by Monday, Villagomez said they will have to go back to their respective islands just to vote.<\/p>\n
She said that polling sites will be open tomorrow, Saturday, but closed on Sunday.<\/p>\n
She has not heard of any issues relating to the seven-day early voting on Tinian and Rota that started Tuesday.<\/p>\n
On the Northern Islands\u2019 voting, Villagomez said the CEC team, accompanied by a police officer and a staff at the Office of the Public Auditor, will be leaving Saipan today, Friday, for the Northern Islands by a chartered boat to get the votes of 10 people. <\/p>\n
There are currently six voters on Agrigan, one on Pagan, and three on Alamagan.<\/p>\n
Villagomez said the total number of voters on the Northern Islands is 162, but most of them are currently residing on Saipan.<\/p>\n
Early voting for the Northern Islands voters who are currently on Saipan is at the Pedro P. Tenorio Multi-Purpose Center in Susupe. <\/p>\n
As of last Saturday, 3,570 voters have already availed of the early voting process in four polling places on Saipan. <\/p>\n
There are 18,526 active registered voters in the CNMI.<\/p>\n
Precinct 6 or Tinian and Aguiguan has 1,724 voters, while Precinct 7 or Rota has 1,931.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
