The Commission on Elections (Comelec) here has deleted some 13,000 registered voters from its official list for their failure to vote in two succeeding elections.

Lawyer Gildu Agoncillo, Dumaguete’s election officer, disclosed in a telephone interview on Monday that the number of registered voters in this capital city might drop despite the ongoing registration of voters that will officially end at 5 p.m. today.

According to him, the number of registered voters for the May 13 midterm elections was pegged at a little more than 89,100.

Since the start of the registration period last Aug.1, the Comelec here had already received some 4,300 applications and on this last day, Agoncillo said he is expecting around 1,000 or more.

The last day of registration was held at the Robinsons shopping mall here to provide comfort to the people, especially persons with disabilities, senior citizens and pregnant women, among others, because the City Comelec Office has limited space, he said.

Although the registration closed at 5 p.m., those who had already queued and waiting their turn would be accommodated even beyond the deadline time, he added.

Everything went on smoothly and orderly, Agoncillo said.

Meanwhile, those whose names were struck out of the voter’s list will have to register again as mandated by law. (Judy F. Partlow/PNA)
