According to Councilor Joel Garganera, the deputy chief implementor of the EOC, the senior citizen identified as Amado Juera Ganzo cast his vote past 4 p.m. in his precinct in Barangay Tinago.
However, Ganzo experienced dizziness and collapsed.
An emergency response team rushed to the voting center but the senior citizen was declared dead on arrival.
