9.6 million voters may be delisted – Comelec

At least 9.6 million of the 53 million registered voters in the country face possible disqualification to vote if they failed to undergo biometrics registration before November 1, 2015.

James Jimenez, spokesman for the Commission on Elections (Comelec), on Thursday said failure to undergo biometrics registration in the next 17 months will cost the 9.6 million voters the right to cast their ballot in the 2016 national polls.
