In preparation for the upcoming elections, an ocular inspection of the city’s voting centers was conducted by key local authorities, including the Angeles City Police, the General Services Office (GSO), the Engineering’s Office, and Angeles Electric Corporation (AEC). The inspection aimed to ensure that all facilities are properly set up and ready to accommodate voters for a smooth and safe electoral process.
The inspection covered various voting centers across the city, with officials assessing the readiness of each location in terms of infrastructure, security, and basic services. The presence of the Angeles City Police was crucial for evaluating security measures, ensuring that proper protocols are in place to maintain peace and order during the voting process.
The GSO and Engineering’s Office were also involved in the inspection, focusing on the physical condition of the facilities. They checked for adequate lighting, accessibility, and any necessary repairs to ensure that the voting centers are functional and accessible to all citizens, including those with disabilities. The goal was to identify and address any issues before election day.
Representatives from Angeles Electric Corporation (AEC) were on-site to verify that power supply and backup systems are in place. This step is vital to ensure that the voting centers will not experience power outages, which could disrupt the election process and affect the smooth flow of voting.
Mayor Carmelo “Pogi” Lazatin Jr. expressed his commitment to ensuring a well-organized election, emphasizing the importance of collaboration between various local offices and agencies. He highlighted how this collective effort would contribute to a more efficient and secure election day, where citizens can confidently exercise their right to vote.
The inspection also focused on ensuring the safety of election officials and voters. By checking the proper placement of voting materials, ensuring clear signage, and verifying that all necessary equipment is available, the inspection team worked to eliminate any potential disruptions that could affect the voting experience.
With the collaboration of multiple agencies and a thorough inspection process, the city is taking all necessary steps to guarantee that the election will be carried out in a safe, efficient, and orderly manner. The ocular inspection also underscores the city’s commitment to making the election process as smooth and accessible as possible for every voter.
