It is insightful to note that Luke is writing Actsfor “Theophilus” (cf. Acts 1:1).
In that he calls him “most excellent” a title usedto address governors (cf. Acts 23:26; 24:3;
26:25), it is quite possible that Luke
is writing this account, as well as
the gospel of Luke (cf. Luke 1:3)
for the purpose of persuading agovernmental leader to come
to faith in Christ.

HOW SHOULD THE BALLOTS BE SHADED?
•• OVALS should OVALS should be shaded be shaded fully! fully!
• Marks are evaluated based on a COMELEC defined
sensitivity-level. For example, a half-shade (filling
half of an oval) will be evaluated by the Automated
Counting Machine whereas a dot would not. This
protects against accidental marking of an oval.
Furthermore, the practice of shading an oval
completely shows that the voter is actively
and with full intention selecting the
candidate of their choice.
