Comelec starts posting names of registered voters

ILOILO CITY, Philippines – The Commission on Elections municipal and city offices have started posting names of registered voters in preparation for the Election Registration Board hearing set Nov. 19, a PNA report said.

Comelec regional official Ryan Castro said that with the end of the voters registration last Oct.31, the Comelec field offices are now busily reviewing and posting the names of voters who applied for registration.

The posting is being intended for the public to see the names of the voters who have applied for registration and be able to contest any of these if it warrants.

“Those who have opposition to the voters registration are being given time to file their petition before the ERB starts the hearing,” Castro said.

The ERB hearing will be simultaneously done throughout the region with the Municipal/City Election Officer sitting as chairman and the Municipal/City Local Civil Registrar and Department of Education highest official in the locality as members. —(FREEMAN)
