The plebiscite for the ratification of the proposed joint venture agreement (JVA) between Central Negros Electric Cooperative (Ceneco) and MORE Electric and Power Corporation (MORE Power) will resume next week.

Ceneco acting general manager, Atty. Arnel Lapore said the plebiscite is scheduled on August 19, 20, 26, 27, and September 2 and 3.

There are a total of 177,737 member-consumer-owners eligible to vote in the plebiscite, including those who already voted last June 24 and 25.

The number of voters decreased from 220,000 following the cleansing process by the National Electrification Administration, which removed deceased individuals, multiple accounts, and those with tampered or disconnected electric meters, from the list./DGB, WDJ
