ON May 13 next year, persons with disabilities (PWDs) will no longer have to worry about climbing a flight of stairs in order to cast their votes in the midterm elections.
The Commission on Elections (Comelec) has issued a resolution which will, among others, provide PWDs with accessible voting areas.
PWD groups welcomed the move and urged Comelec to conduct an information campaign among PWD voters to encourage them to vote.
