00:00 Voter registration will be held on Monday, February 12.
00:05 The new voter is expected to be around 3 million,
00:08 so the program will launch to speed up the process.
00:13 And Sandra Aguinaldo was there.
00:15 Even though the Comelec's office in Quezon City is busy preparing for the opening of voter registration,
00:26 starting on Monday, February 12, 3 million Filipinos are not surprised to be able to register as voters in the country.
00:35 All systems go now and voter registration will start on February 12, 2024.
00:41 Even though you are only 17 years old,
00:44 by May 12, 2025, the second Monday of May,
00:49 you are already 80 years old and you can register.
00:53 We will also accept your school ID and library card.
00:58 Again, it has your name, signature, birthday, and picture.
01:04 You can register as a resident of the Philippines who is not younger than 1 year
01:09 and 6 months resident in the place where you were elected.
01:13 Just bring a valid identification document such as national ID,
01:18 postal ID, student ID, senior citizen's ID, driver's license, and more.
01:24 If you don't have one, you can get a barangay certification.
01:28 Just read the barangay certification.
01:30 It has your name, picture, signature, address, and your birthday.
01:35 To bring voter registration closer,
01:38 you will also go to malls, large establishments, offices and government agencies,
01:44 and other public and private places in the Comelec.
01:47 Under the Registered Anywhere Program.
01:50 But the Commission reminds us,
01:52 we can know if you are a double or multiple registrant.
01:56 And therefore, if we find out, you will face a case of election offense
02:02 with a prison term of up to 3 years.
02:06 The registration of the Comelec is until September 30.
02:09 But hopefully, don't wait for the registration to end and you will hurry.
02:16 For GMA Integrated News, Sandra Aguinaldo, for Tutok, 24 hours.
