ANGELO, a third year college student, who turned 19 recently, plans to vote in next year's elections. But like most youths his age, he does not know that the registration for first-time voters started on Aug. 4 and will end in October.

"I want to vote, but I wasn't able to register," said Angelo, who is taking up AB Consular and Diplomatic Affairs at the College of Saint Benilde in Manila. "My friends also want to participate in the elections but we've been busy the past months.''

There are some 4 million new voters out of the total of 38 million voters.

Those who voted in past elections are required to validate their registration records from Aug. 4 to Dec. 12, from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m., including Saturdays and Sundays. Failure to do so will disqualify them from voting in the local and national elections on May 10, 2004.

The validation of voters' registration records is expected to list up 10 million voters, according to the Commission on Elections. The poll body said the figure was the total number of voters that its data capturing machines could validate.
