Parañaque City Mayor Eric Olivarez urged his constituents, especially new voters, to register for the barangay and Sangguniang Kabataan elections that are scheduled on October 30 next year.
Olivarez made the call on Saturday, Dec. 10, after he received the schedule of voters’ registration from the Office of the Election Officers for the city’s two congressional districts.
He said the registration will start on Monday, Dec. 12, and will run until Jan. 31, 2023.
“I am calling on new and eligible voters to register early,” he said. “Voting is an integral part of our democratic process, and we all have the responsibility to choose our leaders.”
According to the letter the mayor received from Atty. Nesrin Cali and Atty. Mario Vernar Esguerra, election officers for Parañaque City’s District I and District II, respectively, voter registration will be held even on Saturdays and holidays to accommodate more registrants.
The only exceptions will be Dec. 24, 26 and 31.
For District I, the registration venue from Dec. 12 to 17 will be at SM City Sucat Building B, while for District II, the venue will be SM City Bicutan on the same week.
From Dec. 19 to 30, the registration for District I voters will be held at the Office of the Election Officer at the Parañaque City Hall, to be followed by off-site or satellite registration in different barangays in District I from Jan. 2 to 14, 2023.
The last phase of registration for District I will be held at the Parañaque City Sports Complex in Barangay San Antonio from Jan. 16 to 31.
For District II, the registration venue from Dece. 19 to 23 will be SM City BF in Barangay BF Homes and will shift to the Office of the Election Officer at the Parañaque City Hall from Dec. 27 to 30.
The next registration dates for District II voters will be conducted off-site in different barangays from Jan. 2 to 14 and finally at the Parañaque City Sports Complex from Jan. 16 to 31.
