‘Go out and vote on Monday, respect results of election’

Negros Occidental Governor Eugenio Jose Lacson once again is urging Negrenses to go out and vote on Monday, Election Day.

Lacson said Negrenses should not waste their right to choose the next leaders for the country, for the province, and for their respective towns or cities.

Gov. Lacson also reminded voters to respect the election results, as information surfaced that some groups are planning to stage protests if the results of the election will not be in their favor.

Both the police and the army in Negros, meanwhile, are already monitoring the peace and order situation in the province.

So far, the 18 Election Watchlist Areas (EWAs) gave not experienced any election-related incidents and the situation remains peaceful.

Meanwhile, in order to stem any possible post-election COVID-19 surge, Lacson also urged voters to immediately return home after casting their ballots and wait for the results inside their homes.* (DGB)
