Ipagpapatuloy na ng Commission on Elections (Comelec) ang voter registration mula Hulyo 4 hanggang Hulyo 23, 2022. Ayon kay acting Comelec spokesperson John Rex Laudiangco, inaprubahan ng Comelec en banc ang resumption ng voter registration sa kanilang regular session na ginanap nitong Miyerkules.
Sinabi ni Laudiangco na nagdesisyon ang Comelec na ipagpatuloy ang voter registration dahil na rin sa napipintong Barangay and Sangguniang Kabataan Elections (BSKE) na nakatakda sa Disyembre 5, 2022.
“Under RA 8189 (Continuing Voter’s Registration Act), voter registration is prohibited within 120 days prior to elections. Ang BSKE po is on December 5, 2022. Roughly starting August 7, prohibited na,” pahayag ni Laudiangco.
Binanggit naman ni Laudiangco na mayroon ding post-registration activities at requirements na kailangang iproseso ang poll body bago ang susunod na eleksyon.
“Roughly starting August 7, prohibited na. Therefore, we only have July 24 to August 6 to Post/Publish names of voter registration applicants; Calendar/Set the Election Registration Board (ERB) Hearings; Subject registrants to database verification; Conduct said ERB Hearings; Draft and Approve the Project of Precincts; Cluster established precincts as may be necessary,” paliwanag niya.
“Madami po kasing post registration activities and requirements na kailangan bigyan ng sapat na oras. Bukod pa po sa Petitions for Inclusion or Exclusions which will be filed with, heard and decided by MeTCs or MTCs,” saad pa ni Laudiangco.
Gayunman, ani Laudiangco, “the resolution will still be formally promulgated.” Ayon sa Comelec, nasa mahigit 67.5 milyon ang registered voters sa katatapos na national at local elections noong Mayo 9.
