A Guadalupe Nuevo, Makati City voter complained that a portion of her ballot was allegedly pre-shaded.
The voter said that a party list was already pre-shaded in her ballot after she had chosen another party list to vote for.
She then took her concerns to the Board of Election Inspectors (BEI); however, they responded with nonchalance and said it was just a party list.
“Chineck ko nang ganyan. Nakita ko may shade ‘yung isang ano doon, ‘yung isang party-list… Ngayon nag-complain ako sa desk nu’ng mga ano doon, mga nandoon sa table,” Elisa Repas, the voter, said.
“Ang sabi nila sa akin, party-list lang naman po ‘yan,” she added.
The BEI personnel who allegedly said this strongly denied the claim and said that there were no marks on her ballot.
“Chine-check ko naman kasi pumipirma ako eh. So chine-check ko, front and back. Wala, malinis lahat. Kaya nagtataka ako. Imposible po kasi kaka-open ko lang. Anong oras pa lang ‘yon, wala pang 6 o’clock,” Maila Te Lim said.
They denied the allegations of pre-shaded party lists and said that they thoroughly checked the voters’ ballots.
