The 2007 elections posted a high turnout of 82.57% or some 543,000 out of a total of 661,001 registered Boholano voters, said the Commission on Elections.

But it looked like Boholano voters shun away on voting party-list as reflected in a very low turnout. Lawyer Raul Barbarona, in an interview yesterday, admitted there was poor performance on party-lists.

A total of 192,697 votes in the entire province or measly 29.15% of the total registered votes were garnered by 93 party-lists accredited by Comelec but only five (party-lists) got five-digit score.

The Boholano electorate gave the Alliance of Rural Concerns (ARC) 23,973 votes, the highest so far. It is followed by Association of Philippine electric Cooperatives, 16,568. Akbayan Citizens Action Party harvested a total of 12,100; Buhay Hayaan Yumabong, 11,392; and Bayan Muna, 10,413 votes.

   

The lowest is Suara Bangsamoro, which got only 20 votes.
