4.3M may not be able to vote in 2016 – Comelec

SOME 4.3 million voters, sizable enough to spell victory or def eat to any presidential or national candidates, may not be able to vote next year because they are yet to submit to mandatory biometric registration, according to the Commission on Elections (Comelec).

Comelec Chairman Andres Bautista on Sunday noted that more than a year after the resumption of the mandatory biometric registration, the turnout remains low.
