THE Commission on Elections (Comelec) has failed to achieve its target number of overseas voters, netting only 1,254,240 registrants at the end of the seven-month registration period.
Chairman George Erwin Garcia on Monday said he was disappointed with the results, but noted that even in the past, registration was low for midterm elections.
