PABATID | HALALAN UPD 2026

Extended ang botohan hanggang mamayang 8:30 ng gabi!

Batid naming busy ang lahat dahil sa finals. Kaya napagdesisyunan ng University Student Electoral Board (USEB) na bigyan pa ng oras ang mga iskolar para bumoto at magpasiya para sa kinabukasan ng UPD.

Pataasin pa natin ang voter turnout ngayong taon. Makilahok sa demokratikong proseso ng ating pamantasan at patuloy nating gamitin ang ating karapatang bumoto.

Samahan niyo rin kami mamayang 9:00PM para Proclamation of Winners na gaganapin sa Vinzons-SUB Complex.

Makialam. Makibahagi. Bumoto.
