It was on August 27 of this year when SM Supermalls officially teamed up with COMELEC to provide voters with more registration venues at SM malls nationwide. This gives the public a safer, more convenient option amidst the prevailing COVID-19 health crisis.
SM City Mindpro’s satellite voters’ registration started last September 1 and will end on September 15, 2021. Located at the Level 2 across The SM Store, it assisted more than 7,000 registrants from the 98 barangays of the city. In a daily basis, an average of more than 500 qualified voters from District 1 and 2 queued up and excited to register to make their vote counts this coming 2022 local and national elections.
“As we end the registration today at the mall, we are glad that we were able to help COMELEC and residents of Zamboanga through the satellite registration center at SM. We are one with the government in providing accessible and safe venues during these times. We encourage those who are qualified voters to still register at COMELEC’s approved satellite registration centers in the city before the voter’s registration ends on September 30”, said SM City Mindpro’s Assistant Mall Manager Aileen Ann Enriquez.
To note, there are 67 SM Supermalls participating in the voter’s registration across the country. This aims to help ease and unburden voter registration traffic in barangays, providing the public a more convenient, faster, and safer way to avail of your right to vote.
