Comelec opens bidding for voter registration supplies

MANILA, Philippines — The Commission on Elections (Comelec) is now rushing to purchase the necessary supplies for continuing registration of voters after the postponement of the barangay and Sangguniang Kabataan (SK) polls.
The Comelec Bids and Awards Committee has announced it will accept bids for the delivery of registration supplies four days early.
“In view of the urgency to deliver the goods, in connection to the resumption of continuing registration of voters, this BAC deemed it necessary to adjust the submission and opening of bids scheduled on Nov. 10 to Nov. 6,” the Comelec said.
Early this month, President Duterte signed Republic Act 10952 resetting the barangay and SK elections to May 14 next year.
Duterte signed the law on Oct. 2, less than a month before the originally scheduled Oct. 23 polls.
The Comelec said interested parties may submit their bids at the BAC Secretariat Office located at the 7th floor of the Palacio del Gobernador Building, Intramuros, Manila.
Comelec previously allocated P21,374,371.83 for the purchase of supplies required for the registration of voters for the May 2019 barangay and SK elections that will resume on Nov. 6 until Nov. 30.
The voter registration period for the May 13, 2019 midterm polls was supposed to be held from Dec. 4 to Sept. 29, 2018.
