To make the voting process more inclusive and accessible, COMELEC noted that priority groups will be allowed to cast their votes from 5 AM to 7 AM, two hours earlier than the regular voting hours.
This directive aims to reduce waiting times, ease crowding, and provide a more efficient voting experience for vulnerable sectors.
Meanwhile, the regular voting hours will be from 7 AM to 7 PM. You can find your designated voting precinct and check your registration status through the COMELEC precinct finder.
