[Audio] HOW TO REGISTER AS A VOTER. tii. Impor. .

[Audio] When you reach the age of 18, you are legally an adult, and becoming an adult implies a variety of responsibilities. Finding a job, deciding out what you want to do with your life, and working out how to obtain all of the government documents that verify you as a living breathing Filipino citizen, such as the all-important voter registration, are all tasks that must be completed..

[Audio] By registering to vote, you gain the power to choose a leader you can trust to do what is best for you, your community, and your country. Finally, you'll have the power to influence what happens in government. So, in order to help you grow up, we've broken down the processes to become a registered voter..

[Audio] To begin, determine whether or not you are eligible to vote. 1. You must be a citizen of the Philippines. 2. You must be of legal age by the time the elections take place, which is May 9, 2022, so if you aren't 18 yet but will be on that date, you can register. 3. You must have lived in the Philippines for at least one year and in the area where you intend to vote for at least six months prior to the election date. 4. You must have one of the following forms of identification before registering. Before heading to a registration facility, make sure you have it photocopied..

[Audio] Now comes the tricky part: deciding how to register. There was only one method before the pandemic, but now there are three..

[Audio] The first thing you should do is go to your local election office. On the Comelec website, you may find a list of local ones. You should be given an application form once you arrive. It's referred to as the CEF1 form. You may be required to complete a coronavirus self-declaration form as well. Complete all relevant fields and return the form to the polling place..

[Audio] The application as well as the coronavirus self-declaration form can be downloaded as a second alternative. You can use your computer to fill it out or print it off and fill it out by hand. Print it on 8.5 x 13 inch or legal-sized paper. Please keep in mind that after printing, you should not sign a fictional sum mark on the page. Only in front of an election officer are you allowed to do so. Go to your local election officer's office and submit the form when you've printed it..

[Audio] The third alternative is to fill out the registration form on the Erihistro website. After that, you can make an appointment with your local election officer's office. Your application form will then be downloaded automatically. To bring with you on the day of your visit, print it out on 8.5 by 13 inch or legal sized paper..

[Audio] So, now that you've registered to vote, what do you do now? Before you even consider wielding that authority on election day, make sure you do your homework on the candidates vying for the position of your leaders. This is vital because the goal is to elect an official who will look out for your best interests and who shares your views on the subjects that matter most to you..
