#MagparehistroKa: Vote Pilipinas informs the public that registration for the 2022 elections is only two weeks away

 

At only over two weeks until the national elections in 2022, Vote Pilipinas, a non-partisan, non-profit online and offline voter registration campaign, encourages Filipinos eligible to vote to register for the next elections.

The Commission on Elections (COMELEC) has been operating a nationwide synchronized mall registration since September 11 in an apparent attempt to facilitate more voter applications in the country. This link will take you to a list of all Robinsons, SM, and Ayala Malls in the Philippines that are conducting voter registration.

Everyone is encouraged to be guided by the reminders from COMELEC:

1. Voter registration is suspended in ECQ areas, and will automatically resume once the quarantine status is downgraded to MECQ, GCQ, MGCQ or no quarantine classification.
2. Only applications from residents of the locality where the mall is located, or from those intending to transfer their registration record to the locality, will be accommodated.
3. Limited number of slots in consideration of mall hours and strict adherence to health protocols.
4. Application forms are available for free at the site. Forms may also be downloaded at comelec.gov.ph, or accomplished online at irehistro.comelec.gov.ph. For application forms filled out via the mobile app, just present the QR code.
5. Bring at least one valid ID (original and photocopy) and your own ballpen.

Vote Pilipinas will be hosting the last leg of its #MagpaRehistroKa Town Halls this month on September 20, 2021 entitled Magparehistro Ka! A Town Hall for Overseas Filipino Workers and another one on September 24, 2021 for the Magparehistro Ka! GRAND TOWN HALL for the last stretch before the Sept. 30 voter registration deadline. Available over Zoom, Facebook Live, and Kumu, these town halls will be a virtual gathering of key officials from the COMELEC where they get to share the latest news on the country’s election systems and voter registration.

Finally, Vote Pilipinas urges everyone to join the Magparehistro Ka! Challenge, a social media campaign designed to encourage newly registered voters to upload selfies and captions explaining why it is vital for them to vote.

To take part in the challenge, newly registered voters must simply share a photo of themselves on Facebook, Instagram, or Twitter with the message “Bakit mahalagang magparehistro?” Participants must follow @votepilipinas on Twitter, use the hashtags #MagpaRehistroKa, #VotePilipinas, #RegisteredtoVote, and #LiveSmartVoteSmart on Instagram, and send a photo of their registration stubs and verification of entries to the Vote Pilipinas account. Visit Vote Pilipinas on Facebook for more information.
