Comelec extends voter registration reactivation

Metro Manila, Philippines – Some voters will have more time to reactivate their registration for the 2025 midterm polls.

It said voters may file a reactivation application online as long as they have biometrics at the local Comelec office.

The online filing for reactivation can be coursed through the official email address of the election officer, which can be accessed through www.comelec.gov.ph.

The following are the types of application for reactivation that can be done online:
