Practice question
During a lawful registration period, a Filipino applicant is seventeen but will be eighteen on election day. She will then meet both residence periods and has no legal disqualification. Does Section 9 bar registration solely because she is not yet eighteen when applying?
- No; it permits registration where the specified age or residence qualifications will be possessed on election day
- Yes, because every applicant must already be twenty-one
- Yes, because the statute never considers election day
- Yes, unless she owns real property
- Yes, unless a political party endorses her
