CITY OF SAN FERNANDO -- The Commission on Elections (Comelec) said that it will resume voter registration for the May 13, 2019 midterm elections from July 2 to September 29.

This is in line with Comelec Resolution 10392, which orders Comelec offices to be opened Mondays to Saturdays (including holidays) from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. for the voters' registration.

“It is the duty of the commission to conduct regular voter registration in order to enfranchise and enlist qualified voters nationwide, with the exception of Marawi City, Lanao del Sur in light of the current situation in the area,” the poll body’s spokesman James Jimenez said.

The Comelec will also conduct satellite registrations during this period, wherein filed officials go to barangays, public plazas, schools and other public places to register voters.

The registration covers all areas across the country except for the war-torn Marawi City, the capital of Lanao del Sur.
