The Commission on Elections (COMELEC) in Romblon has processed about 17,580 new voters during the conduct of two-month voter’s registration in the 17 municipalities of this province.
Voter’s registration was conducted from August 1 to September 30 in preparation for the 2020 barangay and Sangguniang Kabataan (SK) elections.
The Office of the Provincial Election Supervisor in Romblon said that the total number was composed of voters for SK and Barangay elections.
