MANILA— The Commission on Elections (Comelec) on Saturday announced extending voter registration hours in select satellite offices until 7 p.m., just as it also included the remaining Saturdays of the month for poll listing.

Voter registration every Saturdays, meanwhile, will only be from 8 a.m. until 5 p.m., the Comelec said.

"The last leg of the registration prior to the 2022 national and local elections will primarily be conducted in spaces which are convenient to the public and are able to accommodate a higher number of registrants," according to the commission.

These areas include registration in select Robinsons, SM Supermalls, and Ayala malls, Comelec said.

The commission has extended the voter registration period until Oct. 30 from Sept. 30, following public clamor and pressure from both houses of Congress.
