Before you can vote, you need to register. Here’s a step by step guide to successfully registering as a voter for the upcoming elections:
- Bring any of the following valid identification cards:
* employee’s ID,
* postal ID,
* Students ID,
* Driver’s License,
* NBI or PNP clearance,
* Passport,
* SSS/GSIS ID, IBP ID,
* PRC license
Have a photo copy of your ID ready to be submitted to the Comelec. IDs should have name, picture and address. If you are not yet 18 but will turn 18 before the election period, bring a birth certificate. Forms should be accomplished in triplicate.
- Head off to your local Election Officer (OEO) at your local city or municipal hall during regular office hours (read: Mondays to Fridays, from 8am to 5pm). Lately, the Comelec has opened their doors as well to Saturday registrations. It’s also good to watch out for mobile registrations in your barangay and schools.
- Before you are given a registration form, the election officer will verify if you have registered in the past.
- Once cleared, you will be given the CEF-1A (white form) to fill-up. You can also download your own copy from the Commission on Elections website.
- Fill up ‘Part 1’ and hand it to the election officer, presenting your valid ID while handing over the photocopy of your ID.
- You will be ushered to the data capturing or biometrics desk for your signature, thumb mark, and picture.
- You will be given an acknowledgement receipt. Keep this as proof that you have registered. You will be asked to come back for your voters’ ID.
* Based on COMELEC’s and YVote Philippines’s election registration guide. Registration for first-time voters will end on October 31, 2009.
For students who are already 18 and above and are not yet registered voters, please present only your STUDENT ID. For students who will be turning 18 before May 10, 2010, please bring your STUDENT ID and your BIRTH CERTIFICATE.
These events are in coordination with the Cebu Institute of Technology Administration, CIT-SSG, Commission on Elections and ABS-CBN.

Powered by UserVoice.Com, the CIT-SSG aims to expand its consultative reach in the internet by using this tool.
We have observed that more Technologians speak up online than offline, so we are tapping this service in order to know what's in their mind.

Last September 12, 2009, the
CIT-SSG invited former
CIT-SSG President Michael Nicholas Malazarte to be the resource speaker for the
Parliamentary Procedures and Resolution-Making Seminar.
This seminar was aimed on the new officers to give them knowledge about parliamentary procedures, which is very applicable in the Legislative branch of the CIT-SSG to have an orderly session.
Malazarte, welcomed by CIT-SSG President Billy Jee V. Belenson and CIT-SSG Secretary General Kevin Ray N.Chua, talked about the basics of parliamentary procedures and its importance.
He discussed about the kinds of motions, constructing a motion, the nature of a resolution and other things. CIT-SSG officers also participated by answering Malazarte's question during his presentation.
On resolution-making, he recommended that the CIT-SSG officers follow the past administration's resolution form as it complies with the standards.
He also praised the CIT-SSG officers for their commitment to the CIT-SSG and stressed that being a CIT-SSG officer is not just for resumé but should be a genuine service to their constituents, the Technologians.
