MANILA, Philippines — The first day of registration for the Barangay and Sangguniang Kabataan (SK) elections in December was “generally peaceful and orderly,” the Commission on Elections (Comelec) said Tuesday.
“Ang pinakamaganda sa aming na-obserbahan [ay] generally peaceful and orderly ang pagpila ng ating kababayan [sa pagre-rehistro],” acting Comelec spokesperson Rex Laudiangco said in during the Laging Handa briefing.
(The most pleasing observation we have seen is the generally peaceful and orderly queue of registering people.)
“Maganda po ang aming nakita sa paglahok ng ating mga kababayan across all the regions nationwide. Naging maganda ang turnout natin [at] naging mataas ang turnout natin,” he added.
(We saw the excellent participation of the people across all regions nationwide. Our turnout has been good and high.)

According to Laudiangco, the registration of voters for Barangay and SK elections will run from July 4 until July 23.
Laudiangco also stressed that Comelec is currently accepting in-person applications for transfer of registration, change or correction of entries, reinstatement for those whose voting rights were waived, and transfer of overseas registration to local.
Meanwhile, voter registration records can be reactivated online by downloading the application form on Comelec’s website and submitting it to the poll body’s official satellite e-mail address from July 4-19. — Iliana Padigos, INQUIRER.net intern
