CITY OF SAN FERNANDO -- Voters in the province will now enjoy the convenience of casting their ballots as the Commission on Elections (Comelec) accredited five shopping malls to serve as voting precincts.

Comelec-Pampanga Election Officer Elaiza Sabile-David disclosed the accredited malls as Waltermart and Robinsons Starmills in this city and SM City Clark, Robinsons Place Balibago and Marquee Mall in Angeles City.

The poll body cited the comfort and convenience that can be experienced by voters through mall voting, as well as the strict security already implemented at the said shopping malls.

However, teams from the Philippine National Police and Armed Forces of the Philippines will still be augmented to ensure the security of voters.

The Comelec also reminded the public that voting in the mall precincts is not an option as there will be assigned voters coming from the barangays within the mall area.

The poll body is yet to announce the participating barangays that will be allowed to vote in the said shopping malls.
