The number of individuals who have double or multiple registrations for the May 2025 polls reached at least 1.2 million, Commission on Elections Chairperson George Erwin Garcia said Friday.According to Garcia, the Comelec monitored the duplicate fingerprints through the Automated Fingerprint Identification System from February to September.“Nakita ng AFIS natin. Dyan natin pinapatunayan na dun sa mga doble o ilang beses magpaparehistro, kaya po namin kayong makita,” said Garcia.
However, Garcia earlier said the poll body would still investigate the possible reasons for the duplicate entries.“Kahit nakita na ganon kadami, tatanggalin ay kalahati. Ibig sabihin nun, ‘yung iba may matitira na dati nilang registration. ‘Yung oldest registration nila ang matitira dahil ang karapatan na bumoto ay ginagarantiya ng Saligang Batas. Ang Comelec ay walang kapangyarihan na basta na lang magpatanggal ng pangalan sa listahan,” Garcia said.
