BSKE: 386 classrooms as polling centers in Dagupan

THE Dagupan City Elections Office completed its inspection of 90 percent of the 386 school rooms in Dagupan set to be used as polling centers in the coming Barangay and Sangguniang Kabataan Elections (BSKE) in October.

City Elections Officer Michael Franks Sarmiento said the designated polling centers are now ready for the BSKE.  He, however, said that because the 386 school rooms are still not enough, the offices of school principals as well as libraries will still be used as polling centers.

Some 141,000 registered voters will go to the polls all over Dagupan City to elect their officials during the BSKE and training of members of the Board of Election Inspectors (BEIs) who will guide the voters during the Election Day,  is ongoing.

 1,000 candidates expected in BSKE in Dagupan

Atty. Michael Franks Sarmiento, city elections officer, based his estimate that there will be at least two opposing teams filing their COCs per barangay.

He believes that there will be more candidates aspiring to run in the coming BSKEs because of the extension of the tenure of current barangay and SK officials.
