The Commission on Elections is seeking to improve its voter identification system by using new technologies such as facial and voice recognition and iris scanner.
Comelec Chairman George Garcia made the proposal at the Kapihan sa Manila Bay forum on Wednesday as he stressed the need for a general registration which he believes will address the problem of double and multiple registrations.
“’Yun po ‘yung pinu-push natin na general registration. Sana po mapag-isipan ng ating mga kagalang-galang na mambabatas. Hindi masyadong malaki ang gastos kasi ‘yun po ang regular naming ginagawa e. Bubuksan lang ang aming opisina o di kaya kung gusto nila sa mga eskwelahan magpapa-general registration,” Garcia said.
Recently, the Comelec has been cleaning the voters’ list after it detected hundreds of thousands double or multiple registration in its database.
