Scores of last-minute registrants camped outside the doors of satellite sites of the Commission on Elections (Comelec) hours before the deadline for the filing of application to vote in the 2022 elections
The Comelec earlier opened satellite registration centers in a number of malls nationwide to give voter applicants a safe option amid the pandemic.
Comelec officer Alvin Talosig told CNN Philippines they usually expect a last-minute surge of voter applicants. "As usual po pag last day ng registration saka nagdadagsaan ang mga nagpaparegister sa atin," he said in an interview. [Translation: As usual, voter applicants flock to our registration sites on the last day of registration.]
The voter registration period, which was supposed to end on Sept. 30, was reopened on Oct. 11, as calls for an extension grew.
