Bulacan Governor Daniel R. Fernando urged Bulakenyos on Friday to have themselves registered for May 9,2022 national elections.

While voting is not compulsory, Fernando said it is a civic duty and its part of democracy that determines the country’s future path.

“Ang pagpaparehistro para makaboto at ang mismong pagboto po ay libre lamang. Walang bayad at walang mawawala sa atin. Pero kung iisipin pong mabuti, ang mga benepisyo nito ay napakalaki at napakalawak. Kaya naman huwag po sana nating panghinayangan ang sandaling oras na ilalaan natin dito dahil bawat isa po sa atin ay may kapangyarihang mag-ambag sa lalong ikauunlad ng ating bansang Pilipinas,” Fernando said.

The Commission on Elections (COMELEC) has set the voters’ registration this year from February 15, 2021 until September 30, 2021.

COMELEC Bulacan Supervisor Atty. Mona Ann Aldana-Campos reminded the wearing face masks, face shields, bringing own pens, and observing physical distancing are strictly implemented during the registration process.

To register, Bulakenyos may visit https://irehistro,comelec.gov.ph/ or go to the COMELEC office of their jurisdiction.

Aldana-Campos said registrants may visit offices from Tuesday to Saturday, 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. No transactions every Monday due to weekly disinfection.
