The Commission on Elections (Comelec) officially opened voter registration on Tuesday, Nov. 10 for the May 2028 national and local elections, urging eligible voters to register early and avoid last-minute applications.
Negros Occidental Provincial Election Supervisor Ian Lee Ananoria appealed to the public not to wait until the registration deadline, reminding prospective voters to complete their registration well ahead of the cut-off.
Comelec offices are open from Tuesday to Saturday, from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., including official holidays. The poll body observes a work-from-home arrangement every Monday.
Services include new voter registration, reactivation of deactivated voter records, transfer of registration, and correction of entries.
The Comelec is also conducting the Special Register Anywhere Program to provide additional opportunities for eligible voters to register.
Ananoria encouraged residents to monitor the official Facebook pages of Comelec for announcements on satellite registration schedules in their respective barangays. | GPB
