Comelec Extends Online Voter Reactivation Until September 25

MANILA — The Commission on Elections (Comelec) announced on Wednesday the extension of the online reactivation of voters’ registration until September 25.

“Yung registration ng ating reactivation online, pinalawig hanggang September 25,” said Comelec spokesperson Rex John Laudiangco.

This move aims to reduce the queues at registration sites. “Para mabawas na sa pila yung mga magpapa-reactivate lamang,” he added.

Voters need to reactivate their registration if they have failed to vote in two consecutive elections.

Through the online reactivation process, voters can download a reactivation form from the Comelec website and schedule an online conference. This method is also available for those who wish to update their place of residence and registration area.

“‘Hindi na kailangan pumunta sa tanggapan ng Comelec,” Laudiangco said. He further mentioned, “Asahan po ninyo na kami ay tatawag upang isagawa ang video conferencing para sa convenience of your homes na kayo makakausap ng mga Comelec officials online,” while speaking on state television PTV.

So far, Comelec has processed 6.4 million applications from new voters and those seeking to reactivate their registration.

“Inaasahan po natin na dadami pa ang mga nagpaparehistro na bagong botante at mga reactivation,” Laudiangco noted.

Comelec has already registered 2.6 million new voters, he added.
