Originally scheduled to take place on Tuesday, November 6, 2018, the elections were delayed by one week due to the impact and aftermath of Typhoon Yutu.[1] Early voting was held from Tuesday, November 6, until Monday, November 12, 2018.[2] An estimated 18,975 voters were eligible to vote in the 2018 election.[2]
