BUTUAN CITY, Feb. 17 (PIA) -- Voters who have registered more
than once even in different places can now be traced by the Commission on
Elections (COMELEC) through the National List of Registered Voters (NLRV), a
computer-based system whose centralized database is stored in COMELEC Central
Office, Manila.
According to
Jeffrey Callo, computerized voter’s technician of COMELEC-Agusan del Norte, a
qualified voter who will register in their office will be registered after
verifications were made through the system.
“Ang
National List of Registered Voters o NLRV usa ka system kung diin atong
ma-trace ang mga nagparehistro nga doble bisan og sa laing lugar sila
nagparehistro (The National List of Registered
Voters or NLRV is a system where we can trace double registration even voters
will register from one place to another.),” Callo said.
He added the
name of the voter will be entered into the system and the program will
determine if said voter had already registered.
Through
this, Callo said the system will trace and warns the user should the name
entered is already stored in the database.
The official
said after verifications found that said voter had really registered twice or
more, COMELEC will advise the voter to transfer his/her registration, or his/her
current application for registration will not be considered.
The NLRV is a solution to double
registration as experienced by the commission during the previous conduct of
national and local elections. This will
also deter flying voters who are allegedly rampant during the previous elections. (PIA-Caraga)
