PORAC town Mayor Jaime “Jing” Capil has reminded eligible voters to register before the local Commission on Elections (Comelec) in preparation for the May 2020 Barangay and Sangguniang Kabataan (SK) Elections.

Through a social media post, Capil, along with his Vice Mayor Charlie Santos and municipal council members, reminded his constituents to register at the municipal hall’s Comelec office, Mondays to Saturdays, including holidays, from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Applicants must bring one valid identification card.

The Comelec has restarted voters’ registration on August 1 and will end on September 30.

Pursuant to Comelec Resolution No. 10549, any Filipino citizen who is not yet a registered voter, who will be at least 15 years old on May 11, 2020, and residing in the barangay for at least six months on or before Election Day is eligible to register.
