THE Commission on Elections (Comelec) is training teachers in Zamboanga City who will serve as Board of Election Inspectors (BEIs) in May 2016 elections on how to use the vote counting machines (VCMs).
District 1 Election Officer Stephen Roy Cañete said the training started March 1 and will end on March 11. A total of 737 teachers have been trained as of Saturday, March 5.
Cañete said 500 of the teachers who are undergoing training are from the first district, while 237 are from the second district.
He said they need a total of 3,787 BEIs to serve on Election Day, which is May 9. Of this number, 1,851 will serve in the first district and 1,936 in the second district.
Cañete said that after the training, the BEIs will have to take written and practical examinations, which will be given by the Department of Science and Technology, before they will be issued certification.
The certification is an affirmation that the BEIs have undergone training and have the capability to operate the VCMs, he added.
