MANILA, Philippines — A group of overseas Filipinos based in Hong Kong welcomed the authorities’ decision to place additional vote counting machines (VCMs) and precincts for voters in the special administrative region.

 

“The prompt outcry of the vigilant members of the Filipino migrant community drew attention to the serious setbacks on the first day of voting which resulted to this positive development in overseas absentee voting in Hong Kong,” the United Filipinos in Hong Kong - Migrante (UNIFIL-Migrante) said in a statement on Wednesday.

 

The Commission on Elections on Monday approved the additional five VCMs and precincts. There are now 10 precincts for the 93,886 registered Filipino voters in Hong Kong. The precincts can allegedly serve up to 5,000 voters daily.
