Where to Register
You may register at the Office of the Election Officer (OEO) at the local COMELEC in your area from Monday to Friday, during regular office hours at 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.
There will also be satellite registration venues in certain barangays or areas. A notice of venue and schedule will soon be posted in your local COMELEC office's bulletin boards and the barangays or areas concerned. These venues will be located in public places and will not accept registrations simultaneously with the EO's main office.
How to Register
Application forms for Registration (CEF-1A) are available, free of charge, at the OEO, or may be downloaded from the COMELEC website, www.comelec.gov.ph
If you will apply using a downloaded form, print three copies and fill it up, but don't sign and put your thumbmark yet. You should only sign and thumb mark it in the presence of the EO to make your application form valid.
You have to appear personally at the OEO or any of the satellite registration venues and give your fill name, exat address (including your house number, street name, area, district, purok or sitio, and barangay, or a brief description of your residence, when necessary) and present any of your current IDs that has your picture and signature (school, library or employee Id with picture, driver's license, NBI or Police clearance, Postal ID, or passport). Community Tax Certificates (cedula) or certifications of IDs issued by barangay officials will not be accepted.
