LENTE: Vulnerable sector voting has space for improvement

Election watchdog Legal Network for Truthful Elections (LENTE) said there remains "much space for improvement" in ensuring fair and accessible elections for vulnerable sectors, including indigenous peoples, senior citizens, and persons deprived of liberty.

In a statement, LENTE emphasized that these issues may be addressed through a "proper and meaningful accessibility audit."

"Providing accessible elections for the vulnerable sectors requires a holistic, inclusive, and systematic approach which requires looking at multiple aspects of the election including structural accessibility, voter education, and capacity of the officials of the election management body," it said.
