    This document is a petition challenging the constitutionality of Republic Act No. 10367, which mandates mandatory biometrics voter registration in the Philippines. The petition was filed by several organizations representing students and youth. It asserts that the law and related COMELEC resolutions infringe on citizens' right to suffrage. The law, signed in 2013, requires the COMELEC to establish a clean and updated voter list using biometric data for new registrants. However, the petitioners argue this violates rights and responsibilities of citizens.
