BY RENE GENOVE

The number of registered voters in Oriental Negros for this year's election is expected to go down from 606,000 in 2004 to 593,382 as of October 2006 although the provincial election registration board is still collating the remaining new registrants in the last two months of last year.

The Commission on Elections is cleansing its list of voters by removing the names of those who are dead, persons who transferred to or from the province, and who failed to vote twice for two consecutive elections.

They as well as those who are criminally convicted for a year or more per records provided by the court shall be deactivated, provincial election supervisor Manuel Advincula said.
