MANILA, Philippines (4th UPDATE) – The Commission on Elections (Comelec) intensified its drive to register and validate more voters for the 2016 national elections by setting up satellite voters’ registration booths in more malls and barangays nationwide.
This is part of the Comelec’s drive to register more first-time voters and reach out to around 3.5 million voters who lack biometrics data, as of July 2015, through its “No Bio, No Boto” campaign.
Voters’ registration and biometrics validation for the 2016 polls are ongoing until October 31, 2015. (READ: How to register for the 2016 elections)
