No Comelec circular yet on Nov 30 deadline of CoC filing
april 28
Digital data and photos of newly registered voters will be mailed to Comelec central office in Manila in compact discs (CDs) after the approval of two-man election registration board.
This was bared yesterday by municipal election officer Radjail Adin of the Comelec in Nabunturan, Compostela Valley .
He said that the taking of photos for the newly registered voters is part of the continuing six-day registration being conducted by the Comelec starting last December until October 31 this year.
After the filing up of Comelec registration forms, photos of new registrants would be taken using the Comelec digital camera.
He said that since the registration in his office is not yet online using the Internet, they have to send to the Comelec central office the voters’ data and photos in the CDs through postal mail as part of the Comelec’s computerization program.
The mailing would be made after verification and approval of the election officer and the civil registrar who compose the election registration board.
He bared that the ones encouraged to register as new voters are the new young voters, those who have already reached the age of 18 and those who would turn 18 by October 31, and those who were purged for failing to vote in 2004 and 2007 elections.
Adin also bared that as of yesterday he has not yet received any omelec circular scheduling the filing of the certificates of candidacy of local candidates from November 1 up to November 20, 2010 , the filing period as earlier reported.
He said that he had only heard about it after the media reported about the filing of CoCs sometime ago.
For Nabunturan, the election officer bared that the town has 36,890 voters in 2007 election but following purging of voters such as those who died based on the civil registrar’s list as of March 2009 it decreased to 33,479 voters.
As of yesterday, there are still slightly over 1,000 new voters registered in town since the December start of Comelec’s continuing registration drive on working days and Saturdays.
The Nabunturan Comelec office has been making its daily registration in batches by barangay since March 16 up to July 31 although any new voter can anytime register individually. (Cha Monforte/Rural Urban News)
