ZAMBOANGA CITY -- About 200 residents flocked to the office of the Commission on Elections (Comelec) as the Comelec resumed Thursday the registration of voters.
Lawyer Stephen Roy Cañete, first district election officer, was elated to note that the number of registrants has reached 200 on the first day of the voters’ registration.
“Usually, few people come to us on the first day to register,” Cañete added.
Cañete said they also accommodate the transfer of registration records, correction of names, change of status, reactivation, and validation of voters aside from new registration.
He said the registration is open to regular and Sangguniang Kabataan (SK) voters, who must bring with them documentary requirements such as birth certificates and valid identification cards.
He said the registration of voters at the city election office is open Monday to Thursday from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.
The satellite registration of voters will be held Friday and Saturday in the barangays.
The resumption of voters’ registration is in preparation for the 2020 Barangay and SK Elections. (PNA)
