Comelec restarts nationwide voter registration

The Commission on Elections (Comelec) resumed nationwide voter registration Tuesday, opening the nine-month application window for the 2028 presidential elections.

Registration will run through 30 July 2027, the poll body announced.

“Starting this November 10 until 30 July 2027, the Commission on Elections is once again accepting voter registration applications,” Comelec said, reminding the public that newly registered individuals will be eligible to cast their ballots in the 2028 national polls.

“Each registered voter plays an important role in the future of our country,” it added.

Beyond new applications, Comelec noted that eligible citizens may also apply for transfer of registration, reactivation of deactivated voter records, or updating of personal particulars during the registration period.

Applicants may submit their forms at the local Office of the Election Officer having jurisdiction over their residence, or at designated satellite registration centers.

“Make sure your requirements are complete before going to the registration site to ensure orderly and fast processing of your application,” the poll body advised.
