SK Voters of 2010 Should Register Anew

The Commission on Elections (COMELEC) today reminded the youth who registered and voted during the 2010 Sangguniang Kabataan (SK) Elections should register anew so they may be able to vote in the May 13, 2013 National and Local Elections.
"The COMELEC reminds SK voters during the 2010 elections to register anew so they can vote in the next year's elections," said COMELEC Spokesman James Jimenez, who noted a prevailing misconception among SK Members on the registration process.
"We call on the leadership of Sanggunian Kabataan Federations nationwide and the National Youth Commission (NYC) to help us in encouraging the youth, especially the SK voters of 2010, to register," said Jimenez.
He said voters' registration is open at COMELEC Offices until October 31, 2012; Mondays to Saturdays from 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM. Registrants need only bring a valid ID when they register. ###
