The Commission on Elections (COMELEC) has suspended work in all its offices, including the main office and field offices, until April 14 due to the threat of COVID-19.
This suspension aims to minimize the risk of infection and transmission of Coronavirus Disease 2019.
While most offices are closed, vital sections like IT, Finance, and Security at the main office will continue operations.
The previous suspension of voter certifications at the Intramuros office until March 20 has been superseded by the broader office closure.
The suspension of voter registration, initially set from March 10 to March 31, is effectively extended until April 14.
Voter registration was originally scheduled to resume on January 20 and continue until September 30, 2021.
