The Commission on Elections (COMELEC) and Megaworld Lifestyle Malls have signed a Memorandum of Agreement to establish voting centers at select malls for the May 12 National Midterm Elections.
The partnership designates Eastwood City and Broadway Centrum in Quezon City, and Festive Walk Iloilo in Iloilo City as official voting centers, offering voters secure and comfortable polling venues.
“Beyond being polling venues, our malls reflect our greater mission of fostering civic participation. We are honored to work alongside COMELEC in this meaningful endeavor and look forward to welcoming voters on election day,” said Megaworld Lifestyle Malls Assistant Vice President and Cluster General Manager Tyrone Tan.
COMELEC Chairman George Erwin Garcia emphasized the initiative’s importance: “Elections are the cornerstone of our democracy, and every eligible citizen deserves a seamless and dignified voting experience. By utilizing mall spaces as voting centers, we are ensuring that Filipinos can cast their votes in a safe and familiar setting.“
The collaboration aims to reduce overcrowding at traditional precincts while providing voters with an organized, accessible environment.
