Today is our election day. Where we have to elect Senators for National and local officials in our place.
I just got back from casting my vote for the midterm elections, and I’m glad to share that everything went smoothly this time. The process was fast and well-organized—took me only about an hour to finish everything, compared to the last election where I had to wait nearly three hours! No glitches, no confusion, just a steady flow of voters and helpful staff. Kudos to the electoral team for making it efficient this year!
Did you vote today too? How was your experience?

My Mom and I went to the precinct at 5:00 am. I was allowed to assist my Mom so I was also able to vote early. After voting, I brought Mom home and I went to the office to monitor the conduct of election in my work place. Good thing there are 6 employees from the local government unit who volunteered to help me monitor the conduct of election and my request to allow them to have overtime service was approved. It's a big help for me and for them as well.

@rsa101 Yes, I like this new improvement. So my Mom can go home and rest after voting. This is better than the previous elections when the precincts allowed casting of vote when the temperature is already high and although senior citizens were prioritized, there are already a lot of people in the precinct which contributed to the increase in the temperature due to crowded area.

That was our voting experience too. I know sometimes people have to wait a very long time to vote.

I am actually an election support official in the polling place I am assigned. Although I am not a voter there I was able to cast my vote in a different polling place. I did not want to miss my right to vote.
