COMELEC Biometrics to purge Voter's Registration List
To prevent multiple registrations COMELEC has introduced an automated list of voter's captured in biometrics. There are still some 25 million of the 40 million registered voters in the country who are yet to be captured by biometrics.
In the last election in the Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao alone, there were 18,000 multiple registrants purged from the list of voters when this technology was put on the test.
Voters who were not captured by biometrics can possibly vote more than once and significantly tamper the result of the election. To ensure that all will be captured by biometrics the COMELEC is implementing a continuing registration and cleansing of the voters list.
A clean election will start from a clean voters list.
