Comelec postpones release of certified voters list due to logistical issues

The Commission on Elections (Comelec) has postponed the release of the computerized certified list of voters for the 2022 elections due to logistical issues.

The new deadline for posting these lists in city, municipal, and district halls, as well as Comelec field offices, is now March 29, significantly later than the original February 8 target.

This delay is attributed to the late delivery of essential printing supplies such as continuous forms, A4 papers, and toners required by field offices.

Despite the legal mandate to post the list 90 days before the election, Comelec cited its authority to adjust timelines when necessary.

Consequently, the last day for election registration boards (ERBs) to certify the voter lists has been moved from February 3 to March 24.
