Bonjour. Mabuhay.
Election time is around the corner. It will happen in the summer of 2013.
Well, June na, and half way na tayo sa 2012. That means we have half a year to make the most of this year.
One of the things we need to accomplish is to get a proper voter’s registration. I heard that the new registration has biometrics functions, like the one we have for passport applications.
Read on:
The Commission on Elections has announced that it will still be accepting applications for voter registration until October 31, 2012.
Those who has not reached the required voting age or period of residence on the day of registration but will possess such qualifications on or before the May 13, 2013 (for example, you were born in April 1995) elections may register as a voter not earlier than May 12, 2012.
Applicants should bring with them a copy of their birth certificate and one valid ID for their registration. COMELEC offices are open Monday to Saturdays (including holidays), 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM.
List of valid identification (ID) cards, according to COMELEC:
- Current employee’s identification card (ID), with the signature of the employer or authorized representative;
- Postal ID;
- Student’s ID or library card, signed by the school authority;
- Senior Citizen’s ID;
- Driver’s license;
- NBI/PNP clearance;
- Passport;
- SSS/GSIS ID;
- Integrated Bar of the Philippine (IBP) ID;
- License issued by the Professional Regulatory Commission (PRC) and;
- Any other valid ID.
The ID should bear the applicant’s photo, signature, and complete address. The poll body has likewise emphasized that community tax certificates (cedulas) and other certifications and IDs issued by barangay officials will not be honored. The complete voter registration procedures can be read in the COMELEC website.
COMELEC also indicated that applications for correction of entries, change of name, and transfer of registration records will likewise be accepted.
According to section 5 of COMELEC resolution 9149 promulgated last year, any Filipino citizen who has met the following requirements is eligible to vote:
- At least eighteen (18) years of age;
- A resident of the Philippines for at least one (1) year and in the place wherein he proposes to vote, for at least six (6) months immediately preceding the election; and
- Not otherwise disqualified by law.
Go out and register!
Go out and VOTE!

You will have to go to the COMELEC office nearest you in the municipality where you are registered and file for this

I.D talaga ang kailngan eh. Wala ka ba kahit luma? tapos i add mo din yung mga school records mo.
ask ko lng po. ano ba ang difference ng voters id sa voters certification? tska pano ba kumuha ng voters certification?
Yung voters certification sa comelec offices mo makukuha yun or sa munsipyo kung saan naka rehistro ka dapat bumoto. Siempre yung voters i.d I.D siya.
Hello po tanong ko lang makakuha po ba ako ng voters id,at isang beses lang dn ako naka vote,at na deactivate na po ako ngaun,paano po yon ano gawin ko.thanks need advice lang po.
Pa register kayo ulit sa COMELEC.
Pano palitan ung signature ko sa voters id? iba kc ginagamit ko ngaun..
Wala namang problem yun basta alam mo pa ipirma yung dati or mag update ka sa comelec.
OK lang po ba yun? Kc I’m worrying. Ako alam ko nman ipirma ung dati..
Ok naman yun may 3 specimen signature na allowed sa iyo eh. Basta kapag pinaulit sa iyo yung dati mong pirma kaya mo pa rin.
Hi po gud eve.ask ko LNG po okay LNG kya papalitan young signature ko s voters I’d khit nkaprinted na eto.chineck ko po kc s website ng comelec it’s already printed.pls answer me po..
Hi Mary,
Kung printed na ang status ng Comelec ID mo, hindi na mapapalitan ang signature mo. Pwede kang mag inquire mismo sa Comelec.
MC
Mpapalitan ko p po kya yubg signature ko s voters I’d khit nkprinted n po eto?
Hi Mary,
Please refer to my reply earlier.
MC
Pwede po b kya ipchange young pirma sa voters I’d khit nkprinted n into?
Hi ..
Pwde po ba mapaliatn yun status ko .?ggwin ko po sana single .?
reply lng po thanks.
Hi Rose,
Mag inquire ka sa pinaka malapit na Comelec office sa inyong lugar. Mag dala ka na din ng supporting documents na magpapatunay na single ka (kung married ang nakalagay sa Comelec ID mo) tulad ng CENOMAR. Pwede kang mag order ng copy ng CENOMAR mo sa http://www.nsohelpline.com
MC
Is it possible for me to change my signature or update it?
Pwede nama pero make sure lang na kaya mo pa din isulat yung old signature mo in case na ipa ulit nila sa iyo.
Tanong q lng po,ung voters id ko po kc mali ng isang spellng,pwd po b mapabago un?at mkukuha b agad?sn aq pwdng mgpunta nid q n po kc un s passport bka po kc d nla tnggapin kc my mali ngang isang letter,tnx
Sa comelec office mo ito ipa pa correct. Baka naman i aalow na ng DFA yan basta yung PSA copy mo pa rin ang susundin mo.
Gud day tanong ko kc ung name ng pangalan q mali ung isang letter ipapaayos q po sana ,san po aq pwdng magpunta at mkukuha ko po b agad un,nid q po kc s passpor.tnx
Sa munisipyo kung saan ka naka register mag aayos nyan. Mga 3-6 months inaabot yan.
