Navotas to enforce election gun ban

An election gun ban will be enforced in Navotas City until January next year in relation to a forthcoming plebiscite in three of its barangays.

The Commission on Elections issued this reminder as it stressed that the election gun ban would apply to the entire city, beginning Dec. 26, 2017 to Jan. 10, 2018.

The Comelec is scheduled to hold plebiscites in Barangays NBBS, Tangos and Tanza on Jan. 5, 2018.

This is to ratify the division of Barangay NBBS into NBBS Proper, NBBS Kaunlaran and NBBS Dagat-Dagatan; Barangay Tangos into Tangos North and Tangos South; and Barangay Tanza into Tanza 1 and Tanza 2.

The election gun ban includes the transport of ammunition and raw materials in the manufacture of firearms and explosives. —Julie M. Aurelio
