The youth vote is believed to be crucial for the dream revamp in the country’s political system, Bohol Sangguniang Kabataan Federation echoes the call for the youth to register and make their votes count. SK Provincial federation Board Member & SK National Federation president Jane Censoria Cajes, believes that a unified vote of the youth would surely topple all stereotypes of the corrupted political system in the country. Cajes has sent official memoranda to all SK barangay offices to extend the invitation to urge members to register and offer any assistance to first time voters in their localities to facilitate registration. Meanwhile, according to the Commission on Elections through Provincial Election Officer Eliseo Labaria, it would be relatively easy for first time registrants as they would only need to show a valid identification, fill up the forms and biometric data. The COMELEC website says qualified to register are persons turning 18 on or before May 10, 2010, has established residency and is not disqualified by law. Atty. Labaria said those qualified to register can go to the office of the election registrar between 8-5 pm Monday to Fridays in the areas where they reside until October 31, 2009.
