(SPOT.ph) With the May 12 elections just around the corner—less than two weeks away, to be exact—the last thing you want is to find out your status is inactive or your name showing up at the wrong polling station. To avoid any surprises, the Commission on Elections (COMELEC) has officially activated its online Precinct Finder.
The tool is available at https://precinctfinder.comelec.gov.ph. By entering your full name, date of birth, and place of registration, you can quickly find out your assigned precinct and polling station—no need to wait for long lists posted outside barangay halls or schools.
Typos, wrong spelling, or missing middle names can cause search errors, so it's important to input your details exactly as they appear in your voter registration.
You can also scan the QR code below to access the website.
Your status should show up as "Active" for you to be able to vote on May 12.
