On October 18 and 25, 2009, Offices of the Elections Officers in Regions I, II, III, IV-A, V, CAR and NCR shall be open for registration from 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM.

With the onslaught of typhoons “Ondoy” and “Pepeng” which resulted to series of blackouts, flashfloods and landslides in the aforementioned areas, the conduct of the continuing registration on the said areas was hampered. In line with this, the Commission authorized its field personnel in the said regions to render overtime services for the two remaining Sundays of October.

“To make up for the days wherein registration was suspended in the areas affected by the past two typhoons, the Commission deemed it necessary to conduct Sunday registration so as to give time for those who have not yet registered,” Jimenez said. “In regions not affected by the typhoon, registration is from Mondays to Saturdays”.

Those who are not yet registered have until October 31, 2009 to file their applications for registration in the Offices of the Election Officers in the city/municipality where they reside.
