CAMP OLIVAS, Pampanga — Some 1,386 police personnel in Central Luzon assigned at the Police Regional Headquarters’ Office and Regional Mobile Force Battalion, on Monday started to cast their absentee votes for the May 13 elections.
The absentee voting for police personnel will be conducted until May 1.
Brig. Gen. Napoleon M. Coronel, director of Police Regional Office 3 (PRO3), said the absentee voting allows police personnel to exercise their right to suffrage at their respective offices earlier than the election date so that they could still perform their duties on poll day, provided that they applied to be part of the process.
“Those who joined in the absentee voting can only vote for candidates running for Senate and party-list group through the Commission on Elections (Comelec) Resolution No. 10443,” Coronel said.
He said that some of the police absentee voters here hail from provinces as far as Abra, Benguet, Cagayan Valley and Lanao del Norte.
Meanwhile, Coronel said the absentee voters assigned at the Regional headquarters and Regional Mobile Force Battalion 3 will cast their vote at the PRO3-PANA Hall, in this camp.
