Filipinos who have not yet registered for the 2022 national elections will have to sign up for it before or after the enhanced community quarantine scheduled from August 6 to 20 in Metro Manila, the Commission on Elections said Tuesday, August 3.

The Commission on Elections (COMELEC) will close its physical offices to registrants during the two-week lockdown, Spokesperson James Jimenez added.

"To be clear, voter registration will be suspended beginning August 6, or the same day the enhanced community quarantine (ECQ) takes effect. [Until] then, puwede pang #MagparehistroKa," he said.

COMELEC is unlikely to extend the voter's registration, which will end on September 30, said Jimenez. Senator Risa Hontiveros earlier urged the commission to extend the registration period to two more weeks.
