The Commonwealth Election Commission is ready for the seven-day early voting on Tinian and Rota that will start this Tuesday, Oct. 27.

For those who are 55 years old and above and those with disabilities, voting hours will be from 8am to 9am. Voting hours for all registered voters will be from 9am to 5pm.

Voters must ensure that they bring with them an identification card with a picture as they will be required to present it in order to be issued a ballot at the polling sites.
