MANILA — The Commission on Elections (COMELEC) has reopened voter registration for the 2028 National and Local Elections, with Luneta in Manila among the designated registration sites starting November 10, 2026.
Registration will remain open until July 30, 2027, giving eligible Filipinos ample time to register and participate in the next national and local polls.
COMELEC Chairman George Erwin Garcia said the registration drive aims to encourage eligible Filipinos to register early rather than wait until the deadline.
The registration covers first-time voters, transfer of voting records, reactivation of deactivated registrations, and correction or updating of personal information.
At Luneta, the special registration activity will run from November 10 to 12, from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. Applicants must bring a valid government-issued ID and a photocopy.
The poll body is targeting approximately three million additional registered voters ahead of the May 2028 elections.
