Senate adopts resolution seeking extension of voter registration deadline

THE Senate adopted a resolution urging the Commission on Elections (Comelec) to extend the deadline for voter registration from September 30 to October 31 to prevent voter disenfranchisement amid the pandemic.

Sen. Francis "Kiko" Pangilinan filed Senate Resolution 851 asking the Comelec to extend for at least a month the voter registration period which will end on September 30.
