Ready to vote come 2010? Have you checked that you are, indeed, a registered voter in the Philippines?
I wasn’t sure myself, since I thought that you had to register every single time. I only registered once, when I turned 18. That was… OMG, almost ten years ago!
To check that you’re a registered voter, and to know which precinct you’re registered to vote in, you can click here.
That is the COMELEC Registration Tool. You will be brought to a page with a form that looks like this:
Just enter your name and birthday, and press Find Now. The website will then return your voter details if you are a registered voter. Check out my details! (Erasures are mine. Just playing it safe.
)
If you just registered this year, don’t fret if your details don’t come up. I asked a friend of mine who is a new voter, and she says her name doesn’t come up.
They do have a disclaimer. It says: If you applied for registration, transfer, correction of entries/change of name or reactivation starting 01 April 2009, your record is not yet included here.
Perhaps the COMELEC is too busy to add the new voters to the system?
