THE DEPARTMENT of Education will reactivate its election task force to assist teachers and non-teaching personnel serving in the May 9, 2022 polls.

The reactivation of the election task force aims to provide technical and legal assistance to public school teachers and other non-teaching personnel while fulfilling their poll duties.

“To ensure free, orderly, honest, peaceful, and credible elections, the Department of Education will re-activate its DepEd Election Task Force Operation and Monitoring Center for the May 9, 2022 national and local elections,” DepEd said.

The operation and monitoring center will run from May 8 to 10 at the Bulwagan ng Karunungan of the DepEd’s central office in Pasig City.

The task force will ensure that teachers are provided adequate information, technical and legal assistance in the course of the performance of their duties as members of the election board.

The operation and monitoring center shall also serve as DepEd’s institutional link to volunteer organizations, individuals and partner agencies involved in the conduct of the elections.
