Election Day on PH

in #politics5 years ago (edited)

Howdy Steemians! how are you all doing? Heypi Monday to all of you. Here in my country it's National Election Day , So a lot of people are busy going to their election precincts and have their right to vote. As for myself , i am currently not in my hometown where i am a registered voter so i won't be able to vote.

As of the moment , i am watching the live coverage of GMA news for election 2019 . It's indeed an excellent live newscast their doing. We're able to see different situations and problems on different parts of the countries during this election. One of the major problems is this Vote counting machines , where in some places some machines stopped working , or the voting ballot get jammed or thumb marks are not being recognized. The result is , a lot of people are still waiting on the line , waiting for their turn to vote. Other problems are some conflicts with people , fighting because they support different candidates , some are just fighting because of the long waiting in the line. There also reports of some senior citizens having high blood pressure, probably because all of the precincts seems to be so crowded and the weather here is so hot.

This national election day , people would have to vote for positions like senators , governors , vice gov. , mayors and town councilors . It started 6 am and should end at 6 pm. Watching some PWD's and senior citizens waiting so long makes me annoyed on the system somehow , but then again if those ones are willing to wait to exercise their right to vote , then i should make myself calm as well as i am just watching them.
