Voters unaware of need for biometric registration

Many voters are not aware that they are still required to register under the biometric system, according to an election lawyer.

“Most of these voters who are in possession of voter’s ID have the impression that they are already biometrically registered since they have already their voter’s ID. Those who voted in the past two elections also believe that they are no longer required to register under this system,” Romulo Macalintal noted in a statement on Monday.
