My friend Rizza saved me time on research for this registration, she had all the information needed on her blog for anyone wishing to go to COMELEC to become an official voter of the Republic of the Philippines.
So here, I am just reposting Rizza’s article to guide you with COMELEC REGISTRATION:
I went to the Commission on Elections Office this morning to accompany a friend who is going to register as a voter for the first time. We arrived at around 10:15 in the morning bringing with him a valid Identification Card (ID) showing his present address and a photocopy of said ID. Since he is already 24 years old, he was not required to bring a birth certificate anymore.
We spent exactly an hour for the registration. We started out by submitting a photocopy of the required ID and in return the staff gave my friend some forms to fill out. After filling out the form, we returned it to the staff and waited for his name to be called for verification of the details on the form. The last step was for his biometrics and his picture to be taken.
The registration started on December 2, 2008 and will end on December 15, 2008. But don’t fret, that’s just a Christmas break… they will be accepting registrations again starting January 5, 2009 until December 15, 2009.
For registrants who are 18 years old and below, you must bring a copy of your birth certificate and one (1) valid Identification Card (showing your present address) with its photocopy. Birth certificates are not required for registrants aged 19 and above.
COMELEC Marikina is located at the 3/F of Marikina Public Market.

rjt… what COMELEC did some years ago when they distributed the ID was to give the voters’ ID of everyone per barangay. chances are your voters’ ID is in your barangay hall. check it there, if not, go to COMELEC.

Hi,
My girlfriend may need a voter’s id to claim her passport from the DFA.
I know that, obviously, she needs to register for the voter’s id.
Does anyone know how long it takes for this Comelec to issue the voter’s id card after they give her the registration documents?
It’s needed for her passport release.
Thanks in advance.

Craig, usually the voter’s id from comelec takes a long time to get released. the first and last time they did it, it was done nationwide. comelec gave the ids to the barangay and people simply go to their respective barangays to get their ids.
