SM Supermalls hosts COMELEC Mall Voting on May 1

Heads up, voters! The countdown to the May 12, 2025 National and Local Elections has begun—and 
this year, casting your vote just got a whole lot easier.

In partnership with the Commission on Elections (COMELEC), SM Supermalls is proud to roll out the Mall Voting Program (MVP) in 20 select SM malls nationwide, bringing democracy closer to home—

literally.

Gone are the days of sweltering heat and overcrowded school gyms. This May 12, eligible voters 
assigned to MVP locations can head to their designated SM mall to vote in a secure, accessible, and 
air-conditioned environment. Whether you’re a busy parent, a working professional, or a senior citizen 
looking for comfort and ease, the MVP is designed to improve your voting experience—one step 
(or escalator ride) at a time.

Who Can Vote in the Mall? 
Only voters whose precincts were officially transferred to a mall. This is indicated in the final list from 
COMELEC.

Filipino voters. And don’t worry, COMELEC’s got the backend handled: trained election personnel, fullcompliance with electoral rules, and tight coordination for logistics and security.

Why mall voting works
The goal? A smoother, more inclusive voting experience—especially for Persons with Disabilities 
(PWDs), senior citizens, and pregnant voters. Think ramps, elevators, comfortable seating, and spaciousvoting areas—all in a familiar and accessible setting.

“We believe democracy should be inclusive, convenient, and secure,” shared Junias Eusebio, Vice 
President for Mall Operations at SM Supermalls. “By offering our malls as voting venues, we’re not justmaking it easier to vote—we’re helping empower every Filipino to make their voice heard.”

Democracy meets convenience
This isn’t SM’s first time teaming up with government agencies. Through the SM Government Service Express (GSE), select SM malls already offer one-stop access to services like ID processing, permits, 
and more. The MVP is yet another way SM Supermalls is stepping up to serve the public in meaningful ways.

Plan ahead
Eligible for mall voting? Expect an official advisory from COMELEC about your assigned voting 
venue. Then, on May 12, head to your designated SM mall, bring a valid ID, and vote with ease.

Let’s all do our part—vote smart, vote safe, and vote comfortably.
