The Bureau of Jail Management and Penology (BJMP) on Wednesday said it is working with the Commission on Elections (Comelec) in setting up schedules for the voter registration of persons deprived of liberty (PDLs).
BJMP spokesperson Colonel Xavier Solda said that for the meantime, they just coordinated with the Comelec on the possible schedules considering that the poll body is busy on the first few days of the resumption of voter registration.
According to him, local Comelec officials will be the ones who will go to BJMP facilities where special satellite registration sites will be set up.
