TABUK CITY, Kalinga – Candidates intending to run
for in the May 2016 polls are reminded that filing of certificate of candidacy
(COC) is on Oct. 12-16, Commission on Elections officials said.
This, as some 1,710 applications were processed in
mass registration of voters here last week.
Provincial Election supervisor Dexter Barry Cawis
reported 422 registered new voters, 373 transfer voters, 82 reactivated, 162
correction of entries, and 640- voter validation.
Citing the Commission on Election’s warning that
there is “no forevermore” in registration of voters, Cawis said there is no
extension beyond the Oct. 31 deadline set by the Commission.
The Comelec holds “out-of-way” registration of
voters so qualified voters will go to polling centers come May 2016 elections.
Cawis urged all registered voters with no biometric
validation yet to visit their municipal election centers saying only voters
with biometric registration shall be allowed to vote in line with Comelec’s
policy on “no bio, no boto”.
Based on latest voters list of Comelec-Kalinga, there are 129,098 registered
voters in the province while 30,784 of these have no biometric validation.
