Senate Bill 2408 seeks to extend voter registration for 1 more month, instead of the Comelec-imposed deadline of Sept. 30.

MANILA— A bill seeking to move the deadline of voter registration to Oct. 31 has reached the Senate plenary Tuesday, a day before the Commission on Elections holds its en banc meeting to tackle similar calls from various groups.

According to Senate Minority Leader Franklin Drilon, around 12 million qualified voters are at risk of being disenfranchised due to Comelec's refusal to move the registration period. "Congress has the right to extend the registration period in exercise of its plenary power," he said.
