The Commission on Elections (Comelec) has renewed its call to students to attend the poll body’s voter education lecture series known as “KEBS: Know Elections Better, Superfriends!”

“We aim to demystify the process of elections and advocate for an intelligent vote. Voters as young as 15 years old should be taught the value of democracy,” Comelec spokesperson James Jimenez said.

“Holding such training is one good outreach program for the Comelec to extend to universities and schools, particularly to their own poll officials,” said Comelec Chair Andres Bautista.
