Practices and Challenges Among Members of Electoral Board in Guinsacat, Camiguin

Abstract

This study assessed the practices and challenges encountered by Electoral Board members in Guinsiliban, Sagay, and Catarman (GuinSaCat), Camiguin during the May 12, 2025 National and Local Elections. A quantitative descriptive-survey design was used. Complete enumeration covered 129 Electoral Board members who served as chairpersons, poll clerks, and members. Data were gathered through a validated questionnaire with a Cronbach's alpha of .96 and analyzed using frequency, percentage, weighted mean, standard deviation, independent-samples t-test, one-way analysis of variance, and Tukey post hoc analysis. Electoral practices were implemented to a high extent overall (M = 3.93, SD = 0.27), particularly voter registration (M = 3.98), voter-record accuracy (M = 3.96), and safeguarding electoral materials (M = 3.96). Challenges were generally reported at a low extent (M = 1.73, SD = 0.87); the leading concerns were physical fatigue and health issues (M = 1.98), diverse voter-education needs (M = 1.89), and technical difficulties with voting equipment or systems (M = 1.88). Practice implementation did not significantly differ across respondent profiles. However, challenge perception differed significantly by sex (p = .033) and age (p = .011), with a Tukey comparison identifying a difference between members aged 21-30 and 41-50 years (p = .008). The findings indicate that standardized electoral procedures support consistent implementation, but targeted interventions remain necessary for personnel well-being, voter education, technical readiness, and age-responsive support.
