There was a dearth of new voters in the Saturday registration of the Commission on Elections (Comelec) in Pateros.

According to Armando Mallorca, Pateros election officer, only 28 new voters registered with their office last Oct. 16, the first Saturday registration under Comelec’s extension set from Oct. 11 to 30.

"Perhaps they thought our office was not open (last Saturday)," said Mallorca.

On Oct. 11, 176 new voters were registered followed by 117 on Oct. 12, 128 on Oct. 13, 125 on Oct. 14 and 103 on Oct. 15.
