The registration will run from 8 AM to 7 PM at the Office of the Election Officer of the city or the municipality where the applicant resides and all COMELEC offices will be open even on weekends. The applicant must present any of the following documents when he/she registers:
- Certificate of Live Birth

- Any other document that will establish his/her identity.
On August 5, 2010, the NYC launched a nationwide campaign on the SK Voters Registration at the House of Representatives and through distribution of campaign materials to different government agencies and local government units (LGU all over the country). This is in cooperation with the Kabataan Partylist, Committee on Youth & Sports (House of Representatives), and COMELEC.
