The Commission on Elections (COMELEC) will be releasing voter’s
IDs for the town of Malay.
According to Malay COMELEC Officer II, Elma Cahilig, these are the
voter’s IDs which have not been claimed since 2011. This includes the IDs of
registered voters from 2007 until 2009.
Cahilig said the COMELEC will post the list of voter’s IDs which
have not been claimed at public places.
Included in those places are outside the office of the COMELEC and
at the Village Hall of Malay.
She also added that the mentioned list is ready to be sent for
posting at Village Halls and other public places.
Furthermore, she reminded the public that these IDs are old
voter’s IDs not yet the new IDs for the newly registered voters.
Cahilig advised the public to look at the lists to be posted and
if their name is found, they should go to the office of the COMELEC Malay to
claim their respective ID.
For those who cannot personally claim their ID, an authorized
representative or relative should be sent together with a valid ID of the
claimant to the COMELEC.
Meanwhile, COMELEC Spokesperson James Jimenez explained that the
voter’s ID is a big help to voters since this is recognized by all government
offices including banks in all legal transactions.
