Comelec launches online precinct finder for May polls

The Commission on Elections (Comelec) launched its Precinct Finder tool online on Friday, April 22, allowing registered voters to identify their designated polling precincts.

Voters can access the tool at https://voterverifier.comelec.gov.ph/voter_precinct by providing details such as their name, voter type, and place of registration.

The Precinct Finder was made accessible to the public for the first time since 2016, a year when the Comelec website experienced defacement affecting several functions.

Comelec partnered with the Department of Information and Communications Technology (DICT) to host online systems, including the Precinct Finder, ensuring protection against hackers.

Despite a minor technical issue initially delaying the tool's release, Comelec Commissioner George Erwin M. Garcia stated that preparations for the May 9 polls are on track, at approximately 90-95 percent complete.
