The Commission on Elections (COMELEC) will be conducting voters' registration and validation of biometrics data for the 2016 national elections at SM, Robinsons and Ayala malls.
The poll body decided to bring this service to malls in pushing its "No Bio, No Boto" campaign urging voters to register and validate their biometrcics for the 2016 polls.
According to Republic Act 10367, or the Mandatory Biometrics Registration Act, passed in 2013, voters are mandated to register or validate their biometrics or be barred from voting in 2016.
Biometrics refers to the automated identification of an individual, which includes his picture, fingerprint and signature.
Qualified voters in the 2016 elections are required to have their biometrics data to avoid being “deactivated,” he said.
