5. CHUPS Akbayan-Youth v Comelec, 355 SCRA 318, March 26, 2001
FACTS: Petitioners - representing the youth sector - seek to direct
the Commission on Elections (COMELEC) to conduct a special registration
before the May 14, 2001 General Elections, of new voters ages 18 to 21.
According to petitioners, around four million youth failed to register on
or before the December 27, 2000 deadline set by the respondent
COMELEC under Republic Act No. 8189. Comelec denied their prayer
hence this petition for mandamus.

HELD: No. The COMELEC was well within its right to do so pursuant to the
clear provisions of Section 8, RA 8189 which provides that no voters
registration shall be conducted within 120 days before the regular
election. The right of suffrage is not absolute. It is regulated by measures
like voters registration which is not a mere statutory requirement. The
State, in the exercise of its inherent police power, may then enact laws to
safeguard and regulate the act of voters registration for the ultimate
purpose of conducting honest, orderly and peaceful election, to the
incidental yet generally important end.
The right of suffrage is not absolute and it still bows down to the
inherent police power of the state.
