Voter registration ends on Sept. 29 – Comelec

If you plan to vote in the May, 2019, midterm elections, be sure you are registered. The Commission on Elections (Comelec) issued the reminder as it said that there are only 10 more days left in the voter registration period that ends on September 29.

“Voter Registration ends in (10) days. Being a registered voter means you’re in a position to help bring about actual change,” Comelec spokesman James Jimenez said in his Twitter account @ jabjimenez.

“(10) days left to sign-up for the corps of responsible citizens who will bring change to country,” he added.

Earlier, the National Movement for Free Elections (Namfrel) also reminded the public regarding the upcoming registration deadline.

“Please proceed to your city/municipal Comelec offices or any satellite registration centers in your area, to register, to transfer, or reactivate your voter record, or to change or correct information on your record. Bring at least one valid ID which indicates your address in the city/municipality where you wish to vote,” it further read.

Eligible to register are those at least 18 years of age on or before May 13, 2019, a resident of the Philippines for at least 1 year, and a resident of the city/ municipality where you wish to vote for at least six months before May 13, 2019.

Youth voters who were registered to vote in this year's SangguniangKabataan election need not register again.
