The Commission on Elections (Comelec) in Negros Occidental will reopen its voter registration for the 2025 midterm elections next month.

Atty. Ian Lee Ananoria, Comelec-NegOcc elections supervisor, said the registration will run until September of this year.

The filing of certificates of candidacy will take place in September.

Ananoria said they will release a list of voter registration venues aside from shopping malls.

He also urged residents to register at the earliest possible time to avoid long lines during the last few weeks of filing.

Negros Occidental is one of the vote-rich provinces in the country, with 2,014,726 registered voters./DGB, WDJ
