The Top Ten Tips On Election Day

May 10, 2010
3 min read

I guess we can make an exception today and post this morning’s topic since it’s very timely to today’s historic vote.  The last time I felt this kind of national fervor was during the polarizing Marcos-Aquino election, the first ever election I voted in.  It was a turning point in our history then, and I have a feeling it’s the same this year.  I just pray it’s historic for the better.

May 10, 2010 – The Top Ten Tips On Election Day – Sent in by: Abernathy

  1. Wandering Eneri/Lancey – Don’t be discouraged by the crowds and long lines. Don’t leave without voting. Fight for your right to vote! It’s a small sacrifice to make for the future of our country.

  2. Elen P. – No erasures.

  3. Roy – Don’t over vote. You can under vote, but not over vote.

  4. Bonn Ryan – Vote for who deserves to win and not just for the ones who have a good chance of winning.

  5. Elen P. – Bring a valid I.D.

  6. Princezalthea – After voting, go home. Don’t linger, just to be on the safe side.

  7. OscarDelaHopia – If someone is trying to buy your vote, you can opt to accept the money, but don’t let that change your decisions.

  8. Superjellie – On vote buying, ask yourself kung saan babawiin ng kandidato ang perang ibinigay sa yo.

  9. Superjellie – Please wear deodorant, maawa kayo sa mga katabi mo.

  10. Abernathy – Bring lots of water, a fan & an extra shirt. This election season is literally hot!

  11. Targrod – Don’t remove the ink till may 12. May buy 1 take 1 daw sa Subway (I hope it’s true!).

  12. Kandy Kane – If you can avoid it, don’t discuss your choice of candidates while waiting in line. Some people get fired up about it and conversations could get heated.

  13. Targrod – Respect the vote of your peers.

  14. OhGerald – Do not let anyone intimidate you when casting your ballot.

  15. Targrod/Abernathy – Wear neutral colors when you vote. And remove election paraphernalia. Electioneering yun.

  17. Jedi Mstr – As we make the bed we will lie in  for the next 6 years, let us make sure that today the pen will be mightier than the sword.

  18. OhGerald – You will have four tries to put your ballot through the PCOS unit. If after the 4th try it doesn’t read properly, goodbye ballot.

  19. OhGerald – For our seniors, and those who have “blurry eyes” bring your eye glasses kasi may kaliitan ung bilog na hugis itlog.

  20. Jedi Mstr – Bad politicians are sent to Malacañang by good people who don’t vote.

  21. Jedi Mstr – Base your vote on who you like, not on who you’re voting against.

  22. SidneyRomerosa  – Believe in the power of your vote. In the end, your candidate may not win, but at least you made a stand and tried to make a difference.

  23. Petixologist/BounceBoink – Don’t vote for a “lesser evil”. Vote for the “greater good”.

  24. Astroboy – Bring your senior citizen I.D. The elderly are prioritized.

  25. Mojacko – Don’t rush, but don’t take too much time as well. Madami pang nakapila para bumoto.

  26. Elen P. – Hindi bawal magtanong kung may hindi naiintindihan sa bagong proceso.

  27. Prince Jarie – Wag kumain ng suman bago bumoto. Malagkit.

  32. Petixologist – Iboto yung tama, hindi yung may “tama”.

  33. Silver Bullet – Sa mga pasmado ang kamay, ingat lang sa pag-shade, baka lumagpas sa bilog na hugis itlog.

  34. Blitzkrieg – It’s a long wait. Bring your iPod, PSP, a book, anything to while away the time. We’ve been on standby for the past 2.5 hours now.

  35. Wandering Eneri – Sa mga supporters ng mga kandidato, tapos na po and campaign period, kaya tumigil na kayo!

  36. Greg – Tandaan ang mga pangalan ng kandidatong bumibili ng boto niyo. Sila ang mga corrupt ngayon palang. Paano pa pag may kapangyarihan na sila?

  37. Blitzkrieg – Sa mga EMO, tanggalin muna ang black nail polish, para kita ang indelible ink.
