>> Sunday, November 12, 2023
BAGUIO CITY — Only
half of Baguio’s voters cast their votes for barangay and Sangguniang Kabataan
polls, the Commission on Elections Baguio bared last week.
Comelec-Baguio City election supervisor lawyer John Paul Martin said only 89, 962 or 53.01% of total number of Baguio voters (169,711) cast their votes.
There were 75,700 male voters and 94, 305 females.
The turn-out of SK polls was low at 49.52 % or only 23,152 out of the total 46,752 registered youth voters.
Martin blamed the schedule of the polls timed for a long vacation.
He said Baguio residents could have prioritized family vacations than voting for BSK candidates.
Martin urged government to schedule the next and succeeding polls were not timed during long weekends or vacations to encourage a better turn out of voters.
