Application for Transfer of Registration Records.

Tuesday, June 9, 2009 at 4:10 PM
Are you a registered voter but cannot vote in the 2010 elections because you are in a different city (within the Philippines)? You can still vote!  How? Simply process an Application for Transfer of Registration Records from another district, city or municipality. This is what I did last Monday, and boy was it easy! Read my experience here or read the official Comelec procedures below:


Procedure for filing of application for transfer of registration records from another district/city/municipality. –

  1. Any registered voter who has transferred residence to another district/city/municipality, at least six (6) months before the May 10, 2010 Synchronized National and Local Elections, may apply for transfer of his registration records with the Office of the EO of his new residence by personally accomplishing both sides, in three (3) copies, the prescribed application form hereto attached as Annex “C” (CEF-1B – Application for Transfer/Application for Transfer with Reactivation).

  2. The EO shall then verify from the NLRV if the applicant’s name is included in said list and whether the status of his registration record is active or deactivated.

    For this purpose, the Information Technology Department (ITD) shall provide all EOs with the updated soft copy of the NLRV after each ERB hearing.

  3. If Applicant’s Name is included in the NLRV -

    The EO shall give the applicant three (3) copies of the prescribed Application for Transfer/Application for Transfer with Reactivation. The applicant shall thereafter accomplish both sides of the application form separately in three (3) copies in his own handwriting and submit the same to the EO, who shall ensure that the application form has been filled up correctly, completely and legibly.

    It is important that the EO shall check the box corresponding to the appropriate type of transfer. In the assignment of precinct number and Application Form Number, the EO shall follow the procedure provided in Sec. 7 hereof.

  4. If applicant’s name is not included in the NLRV

    The EO shall advise the applicant that he may, if he so desires, file an application for registration. The EO shall thereafter issue the prescribed application form (CEF-1A – Application for Registration) to the applicant who shall accomplish said form in accordance with Section 7 hereof. In addition, the EO shall issue to the applicant a Certification (sample form attached as Annex “D”) stating that applicant intended to apply for transfer but he was instead advised to apply for original registration.

  5. Thereafter, the EO shall direct the applicant to proceed to the DCM Operator for the capturing of his biometrics data. The DCM Operator shall affix his initial below the space provided for the EO’s signature in Part 2 of the application form.

  6. The EO shall retain the three (3) copies, cut the bottom portion of the application form (copy for EO) and give it to the applicant to serve as Acknowledgment Receipt and proof of fact of filing his application.

    In support of the application for transfer, the applicant may submit a certified copy of his current Voter Registration Record (VRR) or Voter ’s Identification Card generated under the Voters Validation System (VVS), on or before the scheduled ERB hearing.

  7. The application for transfer of registration records to another district/city/municipality shall be subjected to the requirements of notice, hearing and action of the ERB. Within a period of three (3) days from approval of the application for transfer, the EO of voter’s new residence shall, by registered mail or any other fastest means, give notice to the EO of the applicant’s former residence of such approval.

    After receiving the notice, the EO of the applicant’s former residence shall delete the name of the approved voter-transferee in the voters’ list, remove his voter registration record from the precinct book of voters and send said record to the EO of the applicant’s new residence. The actions taken by the EO of the former residence shall not require an ERB approval.
