Voters' registration continues in Laoag City

LAOAG CITY, Ilocos Norte (PIA) — Voters’ registration resumed in Laoag City in preparation for the 2023 Barangay and Sangguniang Kabataan Elections (BSKE).
 
The Commission on Elections (COMELEC) formally resumed the voters’ registration on December 12 until January 31, 2023.
 
According to Cristina Alejandro, Laoag City election assistant, they are open for registration for new voters, transfer of residency, correction of entries, and reactivation every Monday to Saturday, except on December 24 to 26 and on January 2, 2023.
 


Next year, COMELEC-Laoag plans to hold satellite registration spots on the different barangays in the city to bring registration closer to residents, especially senior citizens, people with disabilities, youth, and other vulnerable groups.
 


For new registrants, they need to submit their birth certificate, vaccination records, and any valid identification card where their date of birth is stated.
 


For transfer of residence, registrants must present their birth certificate, any valid ID where their date of birth is stated, and certification of residency.

For correction of entries for civil status, registrants need to present a photocopy of their marriage certificate, while photocopy of birth certificate must be presented for corrections of date of birth.


She encouraged the already registered voters to vote so their registration won’t get deactivated. 


“Failure to vote twice for two successive elections will lead to deactivation and the individual needs to register for reactivation,” she explained. (JCR/AMB/EJFG/AMD-Intern, PIA Ilocos Norte)
