EP 52: COVID-19 threats weigh down PH's voter registration drive

In a matter of months the 2022 national elections will be upon us.

But even before that happens, there’s the campaign period.

Before that, the filing of certificates of candidacy and before that - the ongoing voter registration.

All these as the pandemic continues to rage. in fact, the covid crisis has forced the suspension of the registration process in areas that will be put under hard lockdown beginning August 6th. 

Prompting some quarters to call for an extension and the Commission on Elections? They have yet to tackle this. But should they?
