REGISTRATION. Cebu residents flock to the Commission on Elections office in Cebu City on November 10, 2026, as voter registration resumes for the 2028 national and local elections.

The presidential, national, and local elections of 2028 are 18 months away, and prospective candidates will be filing their certificates in 11 months yet, but the poll season has technically started in the Philippines.

On Tuesday, November 10, the Commission on Elections (Comelec) resumed the registration of voters for the 2028 exercise.

So I guess I will also have to resume this early my Local Vote series, which I usually write only during campaign periods.

And for this edition, I have put together answers to your most common questions on voter registration. The answers are from various and relevant documents and information from the Comelec.

I will be updating this Q&A if and when there are new information you should know. In the meantime, you can also download Rappler’s MUNI app — for free — and join the Voter Hotline channel. There, we post updates about voter issues, while Comelec personnel and representatives of election watchdogs also address voter concerns.

The voter registration, which reopened on November 10, 2026, will close by end of day on July 30, 2027.

That’s a good eight months and 20 days, so I hope we can avoid any last-minute rush and, with it, the usually unfair criticism against the Comelec and its processes.
