08 December 2016 — The Department of Foreign Affairs, Overseas Voting Secretariat (DFA-OVS), informs the public that the implementation of COMELEC’s iREHISTRO on-line application system for the resumption of registration / certification of qualified overseas Filipinos for purposes of the 2019 elections is held in abeyance, until further notice, as it is currently undergoing source code analysis by the Integrated Government Philippines (iGovPhil).

The COMELEC Official Website is under the web hosting facility of iGovPhil (in compliance with the National Privacy Commission).  The Source Code Analysis is part of iGovPhil’s process of checking the security or vulnerability of a website (iREHISTRO) before hosting.
