Following the legislative postponement of the Barangay and Sangguniang Kabataan Elections (BSKE), the Commission on Elections (COMELEC) has officially announced that nationwide voter registration will resume on November 10, 2026.

The announcement, spearheaded by COMELEC Chairman George Erwin Garcia, marks the reopening of registration windows across the country, running continuously until July 30, 2027.

The upcoming registration period is open to a wide spectrum of citizens looking to secure or fix their voting status ahead of future electoral exercises. Eligible individuals include:

• New Voters: First-time registrants reaching voting age.

• Reactovators: Voters seeking to reactivate their deactivated registration records.

• Transferees: Individuals transferring their registration from previous districts or municipalities.

• Data Updaters: Citizens needing to correct or update personal information in their voter profiles.

COMELEC encourages all eligible Filipinos who have yet to register or update their records to utilize the extended timeline. Local offices nationwide are preparing to accommodate the influx of applicants once doors officially open on November 10.

Applicants are advised to check official COMELEC guidelines regarding required identification documents and local office operating hours prior to visiting registration sites.
