Find Your Precinct (The Philippine 2010 Elections)

There's this really cool site to help you find your precinct for this coming election.
Access the website here: Find your Precinct

Just key in your City/Municipality and Precinct Number (found in your Voter's ID) into their appropriate fields. After clicking the 'Find Your Voting Center' button, you'll be shown a map where your precinct is located. However, it may not be able to pinpoint the exact street address of your precinct's location. You can help improve the site though by clicking on the 'Add the location yourself' link. A new window will open where you can edit the map. Just do a quick study of the controls and once you get a hold of it, adding a location into the map will be as simple as tagging a photo in facebook.

And another cool feature it has is the number (maybe the estimated number) of voters in your location popups in the suggestions when you start typing in the 'City/Municipality' field. You can use it to know how many voters there are maybe in neighboring towns or any other city/municipality you may be interested on anywhere in the Philippines. Cool!

I haven't explored it much yet though and I think it still has other amazing features. Just check it out and see for yourself ;)
