MANILA, Philippines — Nearly 250,000 aspiring voters beat the registration deadline for the 2025 elections, according to the Commission on Elections (Comelec).

Around 247,095 applications for voter registration were processed yesterday, Comelec Chairman George Garcia said.

Calabarzon recorded the highest number of applicants at 33,749, followed by Metro Manila, 30,686 and Central Luzon, 27,196.

The poll body’s local offices in Batanes and other typhoon-affected areas will not hold special voter registration, Garcia noted.

Since the resumption of voter registration in February, the Comelec has processed over 6.9 million applications.

Three elections are set to take place in 2025: the midterm elections and the first Bangsamoro parliamentary elections in May, and village and youth council elections in December.
