The Comelec continues to delete the names of dead voters based on the list submitted by the local civil registrars,” Commissioner George Garcia said. "The Comelec continues to delete the names of dead voters based on the list submitted by the local civil registrars," Commissioner George Garcia said. As mandated by law, the civil registrar's office must issue a death certificate to enable the Comelec to legally delete from its voters' list the name of deceased voters. Jimenez cautioned that this could affect the credibility of the polls, thus the need to remove the deceased from the voters' list. The Comelec has appealed to the public for help by reporting the names of their dead relatives or friends so their names can be removed from the voters' list.
