MANILA, Philippines — The Commission on Elections (Comelec) is expecting an influx of applicants for voter registration in its local offices nationwide as registration ends on Monday. In a statement, Comelec spokesman James Jimenez said those eligible to vote but are not registered yet have only two days – today and Monday – left to file their applications. “Today is the last Saturday for voter registration while the last day is on Monday, so an influx of registrants is to be expected. The Comelec has anticipated this and we are confident that our employees in the field are prepared to handle the last-day registration scenario,” he noted. The Comelec said applicants who are not present when their names are called will no longer be allowed to file their application.
