The Comelec earlier suspended voter registration in NCR Plus—composed of Metro Manila, Cavite, Laguna, Batangas, and Rizal—following the imposition of strict enhanced community quarantine (ECQ) in the area amid rising COVID-19 cases.

However, on Thursday night, the Palace announced that quarantine classification in the NCR Plus will be eased to general community quarantine (GCQ) starting May 15 until May 30.
