The voter registration period for the May, 2022 polls began on January 20, 2020.
Due to the threat of the COVID-19, the Comelec suspended voter registration in all offices nationwide in March ahead of the imposition of community quarantine on the island of Luzon.
The suspension was extended several times due to the rising number of COVID-19 cases in the country and the extension of the enhanced community quarantine.
Comelec field personnel used the time of the suspension to put in place anti-COVID-19 measures in relation to the conduct of the registration of voters once it resumes.
Voter registration finally resumed on September 1 except in areas under Enhanced Community Quarantine (ECQ) or Modified ECQ.

In an interview over GMA News, Año stressed that these cops must be put on the death row if only the death penalty is reimposed in the country.
Explaining further, Año said that the death penalty can be meted out to those convicted of
drug related crimes referring to drug lords, drug syndicates and other heinous crimes committed by the men in uniform.
Reimposing the death penalty drew interest anew after Police M/Sgt Jonel Nuezca shot to death a mother and her son in Paniqui, Tarlac in the midst of a heated argument last December 20.
