00:09 Comelec is pushing for the registration of former voters again
00:14 so that the voters list will be clean before the next presidential elections.
00:19 Will the majority of voters be allowed to vote again?
00:21 Especially since more than 60 million people want to be registered within a month?
00:26 Your voice, listen to Ian Cruz's speech.
00:30 This is how it usually happens whenever Comelec opens the voter registration.
00:39 Some are even waiting for the deadline to be over.
00:46 James Quintao doesn't want to experience that.
00:51 We waited in line for a long time. We went home early in the morning. We were home by 12.
00:56 But if Comelec will be able to follow the 68 million voters in the country,
01:01 they need to be registered again.
01:03 Comelec is asking the Congress to pass a law to put aside the current voters list
01:10 and to do voter registration again so that a clean list can be made.
01:15 This will be done in 2026 and will be used in the 2028 presidential elections.
01:21 Their target time for registration is one month.
01:25 The required funds for this is estimated to be 1.2 billion pesos.
01:30 We don't have an intelligence report.
01:33 We don't have anything like that.
01:34 That's why all our elections, the names are always missing from the list.
01:39 For us to settle once and for all that issue,
01:42 it's best to register again.
01:45 Comelec says that since 2003, the oldest biometrics that Comelec has
01:52 has 491,000 double or multiple registrants.
01:57 Comelec plans to use a new ABIS or Automated Biometrics Identification System.
02:05 We use four fingerprints.
02:07 ABIS has ten fingerprints, and then there's facial recognition,
02:12 and then there's Irish verification.
02:15 So that's complete.
02:17 The Election Watchdog, the National Citizens Movement,
02:21 for free elections on Amfrel,
02:23 has no reason to not support the plan of re-registration,
02:27 if this is to clean the voters list.
02:30 Comelec will ensure that if he does that,
02:33 he will ensure that the data on the people and the registrants is protected.
02:38 In case the mutants continue to re-register in 2026,
02:43 according to Comelec,
02:44 the workers and students here in Metro Manila do not have to go back to the province.
02:50 We listened to the public's voice in favor of the plan of re-registration.
02:55 The ones who are on the master list are already removed,
03:00 many of them are already dead.
03:02 We have already registered, and we will do it again.
03:05 I'm in favor of it.
03:07 Because someone like my husband, he was on the master list,
03:10 but he's still alive.
03:12 And maybe so that the flying voters will also be gone.
03:14 For GMA Integrated News, Ian Cruz, for 24 Hours.
03:19 Let's listen to the voices of the online voters
03:24 about the Comelec's plan of re-registration of the voters in 2026.
03:29 According to some netizens,
03:32 the mutants are already on the list.
03:34 The flying voters will also be removed.
03:37 There are those who are not in favor because of the Calvary line
03:40 that the Filipinos will face, especially the senior citizens.
03:44 Some of them are in favor of fixing the system
03:47 or the Comelec will be at home for the registration.
03:50 Some are also insisting that the government should answer
03:53 the one-day salary of the absentees in the job to register.
03:57 They also say that the data of the voters should not be compromised.
04:00 Dear voters, you can also let your voice be heard
04:03 in the social media accounts of 24 Hours.
04:07 Dear voters, join us in voting 24 Hours.
