5 Easy Steps to Vote

1. Introduce yourself to the precinct’s Board of Election Inspectors (BEI). Sign the Election Day Voters’ Computerized List (EDVCL). Get the ballot, secrecy folder and marker from the BEI.
2. Using the marker provided by the COMELEC, fully shade the oblong beside the  name of your chosen candidate/s. You can vote for less but not more than the  number of positions at stake or your balllot will be invalidated. (1 president, 1 vice president, 12 senators, 1 partylist and so on.)
3. Bring your ballot to the Precinct Count Optical Scan machine. Insert the  short portion of the ballot into the PCOS. Wait for the machine screen to flash this message: “Congratulations, your vote has been registered.”
4. Return the secrecy folder as well as the marker to the BEI.
5. Have the nail of your index finger marked with indelible ink. Also, put your thumbmark on the designated space on the EDVCL.
