Cast Your Vote in the 7-ELECTION GULP POLLS

I just took a Gulp and cast my vote!  Of course, it’s not the official one, but I’m hoping that by taking part in the 7-ELECTION GULP® POLLS I’d be able to sway other voters to support the candidates I believe in, or at the least, to encourage them to cast their votes on the May 13 elections.

Although unscientific and unofficial, the  7-Election Gulp® polls conducted during the 2010 presidential race reflected the actual election result with just a few numbers off mark.  For instance, the official election results showed that PNoy received 38 percent of the votes while the 7-Election poll showed 39 percent.

For the upcoming senatorial race, 7-Eleven launched the 7-Election Gulp® polls last March 20, 2013.  The polls will run until May 6 only so you only have a little over a week to cast your votes before the final tally is released on May 7.

HOW TO CAST YOUR VOTE IN THE POLL?

Purchase any 16oz Gulp® beverage (from the selection Coke, Pepsi or Del Monte Gulp® drinks) featuring the three designs of the different senatorial coalitions. Available cup designs are the yellow cup representing Team PNoy, the orange cup representing United Nationalist Alliance (UNA) and the white cup for independent candidates as well as smaller parties such as Ang Kapatiran, Bangon Muna, Democratic, Makabayan and Social Justice. Each purchase of a Gulp® drink in any of the cup designs counts as a vote for the respective parties. For the white cup featuring multiple parties, the barcode for the party of the customer’s choice will be scanned to accurately reflect the vote.
