BACOLOD City – The voters’ registration for the May 2019 elections will be from July 2 to September 29, according to the Commission on Elections (Comelec) Bacolod field office.
City Election Officer Mavil Sia said those who are aged 17 years old but will turn 18 before May next year can register.
They and those who are already 18 and 19 years old must bring with them valid identification cards and their original birth certificates, Sia stressed.
People aged 20 years need not to bring their birth certificates, only an identifications card, she added.
The identifications cards may be government-issued or school-issued. They must have a photo, signature and address, according to Sia.
Comelec-Bacolod will also cater to transfer, reactivation, correction of entry, and transfer of reactivation requests.
