Next, they will select the Place of Registration (Province and City/Municipality for Local/In-Country Voters, or Post/Embassy for Overseas Voters) and start searching after confirming or editing information and the Data Privacy Notice. After this, the system will display the voter's Complete Name, together with the Place of Registration, the Status of Voter Registration (Active, Deactivated, no record, or Multiple Records), and the pertinent polling information (Clustered Precinct Number and Polling Place/Voting Center). 

Comelec reminded that the information displayed will be based on the latest data submission by Comelec Field Offices and Philippine Embassies and Posts, and the exact data provided by the voters during their registration as reflected in the Comelec National List of Registered Voters.
