You’ve got only about a month left to register for the 2010 elections. Have your say in who our country’s leaders should be and head to your locality’s COMELEC office on or before October 31.
In the aftermath of typhoon Ondoy, the Commission on Elections announced on September 28 that voter registration in Pasig’s first and second districts, Taguig and Muntinlupa are temporarily on hold. A representative from the National Capital Region COMELEC office told SPOT.ph on September 30 that Taguig registration resumed using satellite registration at Market Market! and Muntinlupa registration was relocated to the Alabang Public Market. Pasig registration is still on hold since passageways to their COMELEC office are submerged.
As of July, there are 2.7 million new voters and a total of 45,487,634 voters, reported Inquirer.net. Not on the list? Add yourself to the tally with SPOT.ph’s election registration guide.
This is useful. However, I just discovered that I need to re-register. When did Roco run? That’s the last time I voted.
Drat. I’m registering this week.
@crabbypatty: i think roco ran in the 2004 presidential elections.
What about Filipino Canadians? I have not lived in the Philippines fro many eyars, but during my recent visit, I would like to take a more active role in rebuilding Philippines. I also recognize that the 2010 election will be one of the biggest one ever seen. I would like to vote, what do I do?
Hi, Normel,
According to the COMELEC website, you have to be (1) a Filipino citizen and (2) a resident of the Philippines for one year and of the city where you want to vote for at least six months prior to the election, and of course, (3) 18 years old.
If you meet all those requirements, you can just register at the COMELEC office in your area.
Im 24 years old , eversince d pa nkapag register/vote. Im residing in Guadalupe for 6 years. Nung kumuha ako ng brgy clearance sa Brgy, hall they had denied my request..kc i only live in rented place(boarding hauz)bka daw hinahabol ko lng ung mga benefits sa makati.

Hi Mabhel,
According to COMELEC NCR (527-9624), you can register using your current address. Just bring a valid ID with your picture and address to your local COMELEC office. No need to go to your province. Also, you don’t need a baranggay clearance to register.
Hope this helped.
