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.

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. :)

Hi is it true they need comelec birth certificate by (NSO) as requirement as valid a new reg,voters. or optional for that...

Hi risky! Unfortunately, overseas absentee voting ended on August 31. Monz, you only need to bring a valid ID with your picture and address. Mabhel, you're welcome.
thanks for the infos! this is very helpful... i got an unreadable biometric infos too...I believe comelec's not yet prepared for the automated election..seems their database is still messed up.. =(
I am a new voter and I don't know the process on how to register. Is it necessary to have an ID with my current address before I can register? What if I don't have one? What should I bring to COMELEC? I'd appreciate a reply. :)
Hi aby, FOR FIRST-TIME VOTERS What to bring: A valid ID (passport, company ID, school ID, NBI clearance, senior citizen’s ID, driver’s license, SSS/GSIS ID, etc.) with your picture and address, photocopies of the front and back of your ID and a pen. Where to go: Call or visit your barangay hall and ask which COMELEC office you should go to. Your parents and neighbors might also know. When to go: COMELEC offices are open Mondays to Saturdays including holidays, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.

Hi, marivic. Unfortunately, overseas absentee voting ended on August 31. Hi, lene. You can use the online registration verification of COMELEC (http://www.comelec.gov.ph/findprecinct/findprecinct.aspx) to check your registration status and assigned precinct. Please read page 4 (http://www.spot.ph/2009/10/05/2010-election-guide-when-where-and-how-to-register/4/) for the guidelines for returning voters. Thanks! :)

So, possible pa po b aq mkaboto next year or nd n po? kc po im planning 2 have my vacation para lng po mkaboto. Please let me know...thank you Best Regards,
Hi, heide. Since you voted in 2004, your registration status may still be active. Your registration status can be deactivated if you didn’t vote in the last two elections or you lost your Filipino citizenship. A deactivated status can also be because you were imprisoned for more than one year, declared insane or incompetent by the authorities, or convicted of any crime against national security and of disloyalty to the government. You can use the online registration verification of COMELEC (http://www.comelec.gov.ph/findprecinct/findprecinct.aspx) to check your registration status and assigned precinct.
Would you know where I can register in Taguig City?
