MANILA – The Commission on Elections (Comelec) will implement a three-day work-from-home (WFH) arrangement in all its offices in Metro Manila during the holding of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) Summit next week.
In a social media post, the poll body said the WFH arrangement will be implemented from Nov. 16-18 at the Comelec Main Office in Intramuros, Manila; the Office of the Regional Election Director – National Capital Region (NCR); the Office of the Regional Election Director – Mimaropa; and all Offices of the Election Officer in the NCR.
This is in accordance with the declaration of the Office of the President, through Proclamation 1447, of these dates as Special Non-Working Days in the NCR due to the ASEAN Summit.
“During the WFH period, voter registration services (both local and overseas) and the issuance of voter certification (both local and overseas) shall be temporarily unavailable in the abovementioned Comelec offices,” the commission said.
“Nevertheless, Comelec offices located outside of the National Capital Region (are) still open from Tuesdays to Fridays, as well as Saturdays and holidays when voter registration is scheduled, to accept applications for voter registration and issuance of voter certification.”
Voter registration resumed on Nov. 10 and runs until July 30, 2027 for the May 2028 National and Local Elections. (Ferdinand Patinio/PNA)
