DAVAO DEL NORTE, Jan. 15 (PIA)---The continuing
registration of voters will be suspended in February to give way for the
Sangguniang Kabataan elections on February 21.
Davao del Norte election officer, Atty Gay
Enurables this morning revealed that the COMELEC now gets into preparation mode
for SK Elections and that election officers are into information drive for the
election.
Enurables said her office takes focus on
preparing for SK election “because there has been no advise for its suspension.
There had been series of efforts to
suspend the SK Elections in the past but COMELEC still prepared for the
eventual holding of the youth elections by promulgating COMELEC Resolution No.
9905 on October 21, 2014.
Based on the resolution, the continuing
registration, validation and updating of voters’ records will be suspended from
Feb. 1 to Feb. 28 while the SK election day is slated on Feb. 21.
COMELEC Resolution 9905 also sets the filing of
candidacy on Feb. 7, Feb. 9 and Feb. 10 and the campaign period
from Feb. 11 to Feb. 19.
Atty. Enurables said the filing of candidacy
will be done at the COMELEC offices in the municipal and city levels but the
casting of votes goes down at the barangay level.
Meanwhile, COMELEC has set prohibited acts
during the SK election period that will run from Jan. 22 to March 2 and even
during campaign period, on the eve of the election and on election day. COMELEC
lays down specifics of such prohibitions in Resolution 9905.
