Around 50 to 53% of Cavite's 7th district voters took part in the special polls to elect their new representative, according to the Commission on Elections (Comelec).
"Pagkatapos na pagkatapos na mabigyan siya ng certificate of proclamation ng ating board of canvassers, kaagad ay pwede siya makapanumpa sa kahit na sinong otorisadong mag-administer ng oath," said the Comelec chief, who also voted as a resident of Indang.
"Pagkatapos sa Lunes, pwede na siyang mag-assume ng kanyang position bilang representante ng ika-pitong distrito ng Cavite," he added. [Translation: Right after the winner is given the certificate of proclamation by the board of canvassers, he can already be sworn in by anyone authorized to administer the oath. By Monday, he can assume the position of Cavite 7th district representative.]
Both Comelec and observers from the National Citizens' Movement for Free Elections said the special polls were"smooth and peaceful," and the vote counting machines functioned normally.
