COMELEC registration extension schedule

During my last post, we have learned that the Supreme Court extends registration of voters for 2010 elections.

The Commission on Elections (COMELEC) sets out dates for the granted extension of registration for first time voters. The said dates are December 21, 22, 23, 28, and 29. This schedule, however, is tentative, according to Comelec law department chief Ferdinand Rafanan.

Right after the announcement, some people rushed in to the different Comelec offices to register. However, the office awaits for the go signal of the head office for the registration process and guidelines.

As of this date, the COMELEC offices should probably be handling registration of first time voters.

IMPORTANT REMINDER: The extension was granted for first time voters. Change of information and transfer for previously registered voters will not be entertained, according to a TV interview.

Please be guided accordingly.
