MANILA\u00a0—\u00a0The Commission on Elections (COMELEC) will hold another round of voters registration next month for those qualified to vote in the May 2018 barangay and Sangguniang Kabataan (SK) polls.<\/p>\n

“We will open another voter registration period from Nov. 6 to 30 for those who were unable to register the last time,” COMELEC Chairman Juan Andres Bautista said Friday.<\/p>\n

Bautista urged Filipinos, particularly those who will turn 15 years old by May 14, 2018, to register for the youth polls.<\/p>\n

Those who are qualified to register as regular voters are Filipino citizens who are at least 18 years old on or before Election Day; a resident of the Philippines for at least one year before Election Day; and a resident in the place where he\/she proposes to vote for at least six months immediately preceding the elections.<\/p>\n

On the other hand, registrants for SK voters should be Filipino; at least 15 years old but not more than 30 years old on or before Election Day; and is residing in the barangay for at least six months on or before Election Day.<\/p>\n

President Rodrigo Duterte had signed Republic Act No. 10952 postponing the village and youth polls to May 2018.<\/p>\n
