MARAWI CITY, Lanao del Sur, Jan 28 (PIA) -- The efforts of the Commission on Elections (Comelec) to cleanse the list of registered voters in the province has met with success.
The number of registered voters in Lanao del Sur went down by 33 percent to 350,268 after the voters registration held last July in the Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (ARMM), said Provincial Election Supervisor Nasib Yasin.
Of this new record, 201,589 are registered in the first district of the province while 148,679 are in the second district.
The 10-day general registration was part of the national government’s effort to reform electoral system in the region.
According to Yasin, a total of 521,969 voters were registered in the province prior to the re-registration.
He said the poll body was satisfied with the process as the voters’ registration records were now cleansed.
Meanwhile, Yasin said Comelec will ensure that it will do all it can to attain clean, honest, and peaceful elections in the province.
He also urged his counterpart in the Provincial Joint Security Control Center, particularly the Provincial Police and the 103rd Infantry Brigade, to strictly implement the ban on the carrying of firearms.
