The Parish Pastoral Council for Responsible Voting (PPCRV) on Tuesday said it needs more than 400,000 volunteers to assist with various poll-related works for the coming May 2025 midterm elections.
PPCRV National Communications Director Ana Singson said the organization is calling for more volunteers for multiple operations ahead of the national and local elections.
“We are still recruiting as our target is to reach 350,000 to 450,000 volunteers for the 2025 elections,” the poll watchdog official said.
Singson said the PPCRV will be involved in several activities, including source code review for the automated election system, public bidding, ballot printing, and the delivery of election paraphernalia.
PPCRV will also serve as election observers at polling precincts and manage Voter Assistance Desks at all voting centers on Election Day. Interested individuals can approach their local PPCRV coordinators in their parishes to sign up.
Singson said that there are no specific qualifications to volunteer but stressed that PPCRV volunteers must remain neutral and not support any political candidate.
