Comelec's Register Anywhere Program to end on August 31

The Commission on Elections (Comelec) has reminded the public of the August 31 deadline for its Register Anywhere Project (RAP) for the 2025 national and local elections (NLE). 

According to an “Unang Balita” report on Monday, the Comelec said applicants may register to vote in the designated sites in their areas until the end of the month. The satellite registration sites are open from Monday to Saturday, including holidays, from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. 

Deactivated voters may also apply for reactivation in the satellite registration sites, as well as overseas voters who will be in the country for the 2025 NLE. 

After the end of the RAP, applicants may still go to any Comelec office to register. Filipinos abroad may apply in their respective embassies. 

The voter registration period for the May 2025 midterm polls started on February 12, and will end on September 30, 2024.

Comelec Chairperson George Erwin Garcia said earlier there will be no extension of the September 30 voter registration deadline.—Sundy Locus/AOL, GMA Integrated News
