Also in this chat are Rappler election reporter @Dwight and myself, Rappler head of community.

Hello, everyone! Comelec released the schedule for its Register Anywhere Program. https://www.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=870691965096637&id=100064675240177&mibextid=WaXdOe&rdid=IlF2RcawtraVFNfJ

Comelec Chair Garcia is recommending to his colleagues that the poll body guarantee the posting of certificates of candidacy of all candidates within 2 weeks after the filing period. This is an important proposal to make our elections more transparent. @here

Good day! I'm Viancé, an intern from Rappler under their civic engagement unit MovePH, currently covering the Register Anywhere Program of Comelec here at QC. :)

UPDATE: Due to the high number of registrants, Comelec officer said they can only accommodate those who were given registration stubs inside the registration hall. They encourage new arrivals and those lining up outside the hall to visit election offices in their districts and other satellite venues to register to vote.

The special voter registration program in Novaliches concluded at 4 pm. According to a Comelec personnel, more than 300 people were able to register. There is still no information about the schedule of the next RAP events. We were advised to contact the Education and Information Department of Comelec and we'll update here once they release a new schedule. :)
