Comelec NCR offices shift to work-from-home setup

The Commission on Elections (Comelec) will place its offices in the National Capital Region (NCR) under a work-from-home arrangement during the ASEAN Summit from 16 to 18 November.

Comelec announced Friday, 13 November, that the arrangement would cover its main office in Intramuros, Manila, the Office of the NCR Regional Director, the Office of the Region IV-B Regional Director and all offices of election officers in the capital region.

During the period, voter registration services, both local and overseas, and the issuance of voter certifications will be temporarily unavailable at the affected offices.

Comelec assured the public that its offices outside the NCR would remain open.

The arrangement follows a memorandum issued by Comelec executive director Teopisto Elnas Jr. in accordance with Proclamation 1447, which declared 16 to 18 November special non-working days in the NCR in connection with the summit.
