A bill seeking to establish an automated and online system for voter registration has been filed in the Senate.

Senator Mark Villar has filed Senate Bill 2254 to encourage citizens to register as voter registration “appears to be a time consuming and exhausting process, and could be the main reason why many qualified citizens are deterred from registering, rendering them unable to participate during the elections.”

If the online verification of the application or request is not feasible in the meantime, Villar proposed that the system shall allow the applicant to submit his or her application or request through the Comelec’s online platform. The system shall also provide a detailed instruction on how the applicant may follow up or complete the application for registration or requests, the estimated time to complete the processing of the application or request, details on the notice of approval or disapproval, further remedies available in case of disapproval, and such other information necessary to promptly assist the applicant with his or her application or request.
