Kabataan party-list Representative Sarah Elago on Tuesday called on the Filipino youth to register and exercise their right to vote in the coming 2022 elections.

In a privilege speech, Elago stressed the need for the youth’s active participation in next year’s national and local elections.

“Ang pagpaparehistro ang unang hakbang para sa karapatan sa pagboto. Ito ang huhubog sa kalagayan at kapakanan ng sambayanan, hindi lang sa kasalukuyan, kundi sa mamanahin nating kinabukasan,” Elago said.

Comelec offices nationwide are open from Tuesdays to Saturdays, including holidays, from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. for voter registration.
