NCDA lauds COMELEC for issuing Minute Resolution No. 10-0326, which approved the extension of preferential treatment to senior citizens, pregnant women and persons with disabilities on election day by designating polling places located at the ground floor of the voting centers, or providing them express lanes if possible, and Minute Resolution No. 10-0331 which said that COMELEC will also provide Election Day Help Desk in every polling center to be manned by the Parish Pastoral Council for Responsible Voting (PPCRV).
The issuance of these resolutions will make voting easier for persons with disabilities thus ensuring their participation in the 2010 elections and beyond.
