BAGUIO CITY — With barely two months before the October 31, 2015 voters registration deadline, the Commission on Election (COMELEC) in the region reminds voters, especially those who have no biometric data yet to visit the COMELEC Office to have their biometrics taken to be able to participate in the 2016 elections.
COMELEC-Cordillera Regional Director Julius Torres announced in a radio interview that even voters who voted in past elections but failed to submit themselves for validation or biometric data(digital photo, signature and fingerprints) cannot vote in the 2016 elections.
Torres urges Baguio City voters to take advantage of Comelec’s iRehistro project, an online application for registration, which was recently launched in the region.
iRehistro shortens the registration process where aside from filling the forms on-line, registrants can also set the date and time they will go to the election office to submit their forms and have their biometrics taken. Registrants need to print three copies of the form in legal size bond paper.
