IT’S all systems go for Wednesday’s second plebiscite in Mindanao to determine which areas would want to join the soon to be established Bangsamoro Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (Barmm), the Commission on Elections (Comelec) said.
Comelec spokesperson James Jimenez said on Tuesday that the February 6 plebiscite covered Lanao del Norte, except Iligan City, the municipalities of Baloi, Monai, Nunungan, Pantar, Taguilowan and Pangkal, and the towns of Aleosan, Carmen, Kabacan, Midsayap, Pikit, and Pigkawayan, including Tolanan, all from North Cotabato.
Jimenez said the Comelec was expecting a 70 percent turnout, adding that the Commission en Banc, sitting as the National Plebiscite Board of Canvassers, would convene and finish canvassing in four days.
He said trained police personnel were also ready to pitch in for teachers who would fail to report on Election Day.
