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.
