MagparehistroKa
The Commission on Elections (Comelec) saw a clear opportunity to attract new voters online with MagparehistroKa.com which was launched last June 12 in collaboration with MullenLowe TREYNA, adapting the commission’s original online campaign hashtag MagparehistroKa.
The campaign has registered almost 3.6 million sessions and over 3.4 million unique visitors coming in from Facebook and Twitter. And because the website also has a direct link to the iRehistro site, the Comelec page was accessed by 17 percent of visitors; 6 percent downloaded Comelec forms to use, exceeding the industry average of 2.35 to 5.31 percent.
The interactive website, powered by Google Cloud, reintroduced visitors to the “ghosts” of National heroes who narrated their sacrifices for the country and paved the way for democracy. These heroes playfully urged netizens into completing their registration “or else”.
Project collaborator Dashboard Philippines also integrated Google Maps, which helped registrants locate the nearest Comelec OEOs or satellite registration sites from their location.
