The Commission on Elections on Wednesday said the online registration for new voters for the May 2025 elections is not likely to be implemented next year.
During a Senate committee hearing, Garcia cited Republic Act 8189 which states that individuals seeking to register must still appear personally before registration sites. “Likewise, the voters— when they submit their application for registration, these applications should all be under oath,” he added.
“It’s quite easy to get the images… and then your images can be sent to the Commission. However, when it comes to biometrics, it may happen that the voter who wanted to register online is not the same voter,” he said.
