Avoid crowds, register now, Comelec asks voters

THE Commission on Elections (Comelec) has called on qualified voters to participate in next year's Barangay and Sangguniang Kabataan Elections (BSKE) following an anemic turnout of registrants on the opening day of the resumption of voters' registration.

Comelec Chairman George Erwin Garcia on Tuesday said that it pays to avoid the "last-minute" habit and register early to avoid long queues at registration centers during the latter part of the registration period.
