Angeles City conducted an ocular inspection of voting centers to ensure readiness for the upcoming elections, with key personnel from the Angeles City Police, General Services Office (GSO), Engineering’s Office, and Angeles Electric Corporation (AEC) all present. The inspection, led by the city government, aimed to assess the accessibility, safety, and functionality of the centers in preparation for a smooth electoral process.
The team conducted a thorough walkthrough of several identified voting centers across the city to check for any necessary improvements. The inspection focused on evaluating the overall safety measures, such as ensuring adequate lighting, proper ventilation, and accessibility for persons with disabilities. The collaboration between various city departments highlighted the city’s commitment to ensuring a secure and efficient voting experience for all citizens.
Angeles City Police Department played a crucial role in the inspection, ensuring that all voting centers are adequately secured, and safety protocols are in place to protect both voters and election workers. The presence of the police also aimed to prevent any potential election-related incidents, providing reassurance to the public ahead of the election day.
The Engineering Office, together with the General Services Office, was responsible for inspecting the physical infrastructure of the voting centers. They made sure that the buildings were in proper condition and that there were no barriers that would hinder the smooth flow of voters on election day. Any necessary repairs or adjustments will be promptly addressed to guarantee the readiness of the centers.
Angeles Electric Corporation (AEC) was also involved in the inspection to ensure a stable power supply to all voting centers. Given the importance of uninterrupted power during the election, AEC checked the electrical systems and backup power sources to avoid any disruptions, especially considering the long hours required for voting and counting.
In addition to safety and infrastructure, the inspection also aimed to address any logistical concerns. The team ensured that each voting center had sufficient equipment, materials, and staff to facilitate a smooth voting process. This included confirming that voting machines, ballots, and other necessary items were properly prepared and ready for use.
