Baguio sees more voter registration

BAGUIO CITY —With the deadline to register as voter for the May 2013 elections approaching, the Commission on Elections (Comelec) office here has started to register more individuals, according to city elections registrar Modesto Bahul.

Months prior to this period, the Comelec office here was only accommodating a daily average of five to 10 registrants but the number has now swelled to 300 per day.

Bahul said that it would take sometime before his office can officially determine the number of registered voters as "we would like to cleanse our list those who are not really qualified as well as those who are no longer be able to cast their votes because they already transferred to other places or dead. This process would be very important to make our elections clean, orderly, peaceful and credible." -- PNA
