SK voters automatically included in voter list Mayen Jaymalin
MANILA, Philippines Sangguniang Kabataan (SK) voters can participate in the 2022 general elections without the need to register again.
The Commission on Elections (Comelec) has ordered their automatic inclusion in the voters’ list.
The move is meant to simplify the registration process among youth voters, according to the Comelec.
“It is the policy of the commission to adopt a simplified registration for SK voters turning 18 years old by not requiring them to register anew as regular voters,” the Comelec said.
Qualified to register as regular voters are those aged 18 and above.
The automatic inclusion of SK voters in the voter list will help prevent the possible spread of COVID-19 in local election offices, the Comelec said.
