The Commission on Elections (Comelec) in Bacolod City is expecting more than 10,000 new voters to be registered, as the registration resumed yesterday.

Elections officer Atty. Kathrina Caña, in a radio interview, said this is part of preparations for the barangay and Sangguniang Kabataan elections next year.

Comelec-Bacolod will also hold registrations for the inmates of the Bacolod City District Jail in Barangay Handumanan on December 15 and 16.

They will also hold satellite registrations on Saturday, December 17 in Barangay Estefania.

Caña said they are waiting for the final confirmation of satellite registration in various malls in the city.

The elections officer advised registrants to bring a valid identification card, and original birth or baptismal certificate.

The voter registration will run until January 31, 2023.

At present, Bacolod City has 330,621 registered voters from 2,186 voting precincts./DGB, WDJ
