LEGAZPI CITY – The Commission on Elections-Bicol (Comelec-5) is calling on residents to participate in the Barangay and Sangguniang Kabataan (SK) polls in December by registering as voters.
In an infographics posted on its Facebook page, Comelec-5 said offices will accept applications until July 23.
They will be open from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., Mondays to Saturdays, including holidays.
Application for registration must be filed personally.
The Comelec will also accept applications for transfer, change/corrections of entries; inclusion of registration records and reinstatement of name on the list of voters; and transfer of records from a foreign post to a local one.
