As of June 8, 2024, the Philippine Commission on Elections (COMELEC) is currently not prioritizing the issuance of voter IDs. However, there are alternative solutions for now:
1. Check Voter Registration Status:
-You can verify if you're already registered to vote online through COMELEC's website (https://comelec.gov.ph/?r=VoterRegistration/HowtoRegister).
2. Obtain Voter's Certification:
If you're registered, you can get a Voter's Certification from your local COMELEC office. This certification serves as proof of registration and holds the same validity as a voter ID for most purposes.
Here's how to get a Voter's Certification:
Requirements:
Valid ID (e.g., passport, driver's license)
Accomplished application form (usually available at the COMELEC office)
Minimum fee (amount may vary)
Process:
Visit your local COMELEC office.
Secure and fill out the application form.
Submit the application form, valid ID, and fee.
Pay the processing fee.
Wait for your Voter's Certification to be released (processing time may vary).
3. Stay Updated on Voter ID Issuance:
COMELEC is considering resuming the issuance of voter IDs. You can monitor their website (https://comelec.gov.ph/?r=VoterRegistration/HowtoRegister) or news outlets for announcements regarding the resumption of voter ID applications.
