00:00 In the midst of the new voters registering,
00:05 Kamilek pushed the voters list of former voters to be void.
00:12 The camera caught the scene.
00:15 I'm Sandra Aguinaldo and this is Dano Tingkungco.
00:17 On the first day of the voting registration,
00:23 more than 88,000 registered according to the Commission on Elections in Kamilek.
00:28 But not only that, the application form was submitted,
00:31 automatically, the registered voter.
00:33 It will pass through the Election Registration Board
00:36 that can receive the approval of the application registration.
00:40 Despite the ongoing campaign to encourage more voters,
00:45 Kamilek said that it is necessary to push the list of voters to be clean
00:50 after the 2025 midterm elections.
00:53 Kamilek Chairman George Erwin Garcia said that the list of voters should be void
01:00 so that all voters can be registered again.
01:03 Not because we believe that it's dirty, that's not it.
01:06 If not, so that everyone's doubts will be gone, especially those who will run in the 2028 elections.
01:12 Kamilek said that the registered voters can go back to zero in the registration,
01:17 even if the registered voters are 68 million in the country.
01:21 It is also good to upgrade the technology in the search for the data of the voters.
01:27 What we have in Kamilek is what we call AFIS, Automated Fingerprint Identification System.
01:33 The new technology is called ABIS, where 10 fingerprints can be put,
01:39 then there is facial recognition, there is irish recognition.
01:43 It means that we can be more sure that the one voting is the same.
01:47 The discussion was discussed during the hearing of the House Committee on Suffrage and Electoral Reforms.
01:53 But instead of going back to zero, some congressmen asked,
01:57 "Isn't it better to clean the current voters list first before accepting a new list of voters?"
02:03 You said that all the problems are caused by the people of the country.
02:08 That is a policy consideration, so we will submit to the NPAC the proposal of the UN Republic Chair,
02:16 and we will consider whether to suspend the current voters list or blow up the current registration.
02:28 Kamilek explained to the committee that in order for an applicant to register,
02:32 he needs to prove his identity through the government ID and tell where he lives.
02:39 Kamilek will not accept this easily even if there is an online registration.
02:43 But what about the dead but still registered?
02:47 I'm talking about my own district, the deceased individuals but still in the voter's list.
02:53 Or those who got married, changed their names but registered in two different areas.
02:59 We have a plan to have a coordination with the NSA so that they can give us the list of deceased individuals,
03:11 nationwide, so that wherever these deceased are registered,
03:17 you can already transmit or send a certificate of that to the place where the deceased are registered.
03:28 Upon hearing this, the LENTE group pushed the integration of the National ID in the voter's registration system
03:35 so that the voters' list can be cleaned faster.
