Comelec to pilot test mall voting in 5 NCR sites during 2023 Barangay, SK polls — Garcia

The Commission on Elections will conduct a pilot test of mall voting in five establishments in Metro Manila during the 2023 Barangay and Sangguniang Kabataan Elections (BSKE), Comelec Chairman George Garcia said Monday.

In an interview with reporters, Garcia said they will conduct the pilot test in SM Manila, Robinsons Manila, Robinsons Magnolia and two other malls in the National Capital Region.

Among the advantages of mall voting that Garcia cited are security, prevention of sample ballots distribution, and the preservation of school equipment such as chairs. [It will provide convenience to the public but the Comelec would have to conduct a massive information drive, information dissemination.]

Garcia also said that the Comelec will not prohibit watchers from entering the malls where the pilot test will be conducted. Garcia explained that they are mulling the conduct of mall voting at SM Manila and Robinsons Manila because they also want to give a specific polling precinct for seafarers.
