18K Mandaue voters have no biometrics yet

Thousands of Mandaue City voters have not yet had their  biometrics data captured at the Commission on Elections (Comelec) office . The deadline falls on Oct. 31.

Election Officer Anna Fleur Gujilde said that of more than  186,000 registered voters in the city, there are still 18,193 voters who have no biometric data as of September 21.
