The Commonwealth Election Commission\u2019s voter registration drive at 14 different locations on Saipan, Tinian, and Rota has resulted in the registration of 427 individuals. <\/p>\n
CEC acting executive director Kayla Igitol in an interview disclosed that with the new registrants, as of Tuesday there are now a total of 17,657 registered voters in the CNMI.<\/p>\n
In the 2016 general election, there were a total of 17,928 registered voters in the CNMI. <\/p>\n
Igitol also announced that starting July 7, CEC\u2019s office in Susupe will open every Saturdays from 9am to 3pm to accommodate more persons who want to register.<\/p>\n
Igitol said most people work from Monday to Friday and they want to give them opportunity to register before the Sept. 7 deadline.<\/p>\n
The voter registration drive started last April 12 at the Fiesta Resort & Spa and at Kagman High School. The last drive was at the Northern Marianas College\u2019s Cash for College program last Saturday.<\/p>\n
The registration drive at Mount Carmel School set for last May 17 was canceled due to a power outage.<\/p>\n
