The Commission on Elections (Comelec) plans to implement the Register Anywhere Program (RAP) in highly urbanized cities (HUCs) to achieve a five percent increase in the number of registered voters for the 2025 midterm elections. The RAP will provide additional registration services for students and workers based in HUCs and capital towns and cities who want to vote in their home provinces.
The Commission on Elections ( Comelec ) aims to achieve a five percent increase in the number of registered voters nationwide for the 2025 midterm elections . Comelec 7 Director Lionel Castillano said one of the strategies to accomplish this goal is the implementation of the Register Anywhere Program ( RAP ) in highly urbanized cities (HUCs) in the country, including those in Cebu and capital towns and cities in other islands of the region.
'We will only conduct the RAP once a month because it is just an additional service of the Comelec. We will hold the RAP during our satellite registration, where we will have those booths,' Castillano explained in Cebuano on Monday, Feb. 12, 2024. He said the main purpose of the RAP is to accommodate students and workers based in HUCs and capital towns and cities who may still want to vote in their home provinces. 'Usually, these students and workers can only make time during the weekend. That’s why we’ll conduct the satellite registration on weekends at the malls,' he added
