Robinsons Malls, Comelec sign partnership for Mall Voting Program

By Manila Bulletin

The Commission on Elections (Comelec) continues its years of partnership with Robinsons Malls as 13 malls covering 152 precincts nationwide have been officially designated as Mall Voting Precinct (MVP) for the forthcoming Mid-Term National Elections on May 12, 2025.

Robinson Comelec.jpg — ROBINSONS MALLS IS COMELEC’S OFFICIAL MALL PARTNER FOR THE 2025 MID-TERM ELECTIONS. Robinsons Malls, through its pioneering government services program Lingkod Pinoy Center, and the Commissions on Elections (COMELEC) make another significant milestone in the country's election history by extending polling stations in 13 Robinsons Malls covering 152 precincts nationwide. Through this strategic partnership, casting of ballots will be more accessible and convenient for eligible voters from these locations. The agreement was signed recently at the COMELEC Headquarters in Intramuros by (L-R) Teopisto E. Elias, Jr, COMELEC Executive Director, Atty. George Erwin M. Garcia, COMELEC Chairman, Joel Lumanlan, Robinsons Malls Vice President for Operations and Marketing, and Irving L. Wu, RLC External Affairs Director.

The agreement was recently formalized in a contract signing held at the COMELEC Headquarters in Intramuros attended by COMELEC Chairman Atty George Garcia and officials from Robinsons Malls led by VP for Operations and Marketing Joel Lumanlan.

"With the partnership of Robinsons Malls’ Lingkod Pinoy Center and the Comelec, the elections for the selected precincts will be more accessible, convenient, and comfortable, and this will encourage more people to go out and vote," said Lumanlan.

“Our strategic partnership with COMELEC dates back to 2014 when Robinsons Malls became the first mall in the country to host off-site voter registration with services such as biometrics, issuance of voter's certificate, and voters ID. Since then, we have been hosting satellite voter registration over the past several years and became the inaugural venue for the Register Anywhere Program,” he added.

Voters from these precincts will not only have the convenience of casting their ballots in very accessible and comfortable locations but also enjoy the mall amenities for post-voting activities, such as dining, shopping or spending quality time with family.

COMELEC, on the other hand, has adapted an early voting hours policy which will allow senior citizens persons with disability (PWD) and pregnant women to vote exclusively between 5:00 am to 7:00 am.
