Some 29 cadets and police officers will be deployed by the Department of Public Safety on Saturday to ensure a peaceful election on November 6, according to Clyde Norita, DPS assistant chief for special services.<\/p>\n
Norita said while previous elections on the island had been generally peaceful, the agency’s Tactical Response Enforcement Team will be on standby for any untoward incident.<\/p>\n
The police officers will escort the transfer of ballots from different polling places to the Multi-Purpose Building in Susupe, where the tabulation will be held. Police officers will be on duty from 7:00 a.m. until the tabulation is over.<\/p>\n
The Board of Elections has warned against carrying of campaign banners, T-shirts or caps and distributing materials within 100 feet from the designated polling stations.<\/p>\n
DPS is reminding the candidates that banners and distribution of campaign materials will only be allowed beyond the restricted area.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
