Overseas Fils votes
By Nidz Godino
“Actually, as early as wee hours of morning, our kababayans abroad cast their votes,” Commission on Elections (Comelec) Chairman George Garcia said Filipinos in various parts of the world started trooping to Philippine embassies and consulates as month-long overseas voting period began.
Said overseas voting period would run until end of voting hours in the Philippines on May 12.
In Singapore, Garcia said six Filipinos cast their votes at the kiosk at the embassy within 10 minutes after voting period opened.
Aside from casting their votes for May 2025 midterm polls in embassies and consulates, Comelec said registered overseas Filipino voters can also vote online.
“Voting for our kababayans abroad on 77 posts is via internet voting… those in 16 posts is through going to embassy or consulate,” Garcia noted.
Garcia said internet voting abroad is open 24 hours a day.
Meanwhile, online voting in 77 areas commenced shortly after test voting period for internet voting ended at midnight on Saturday.
Test online voting was initiated to familiarize Filipinos availing themselves of internet voting with features of the system adopted by the commission for the first time.
First to cast their votes, the Comelec said, were registered Filipino voters in New Zealand followed by those from Australia and Guam.
There are 1.231 million Filipino voters abroad. Of the number, only 48,000 have enrolled for online voting as of Friday.
Comelec spokesman John Rex Laudiangco said registered Filipino voters abroad still need to enroll to access internet voting system.
Laudiangco added that enrollment for internet voting started last March 20 and will continue until May 12.
He likewise encouraged registered Filipino overseas voters to take advantage of internet voting system so that they can cast their votes even in convenience of their homes or wherever they are by using their cellphones or other gadgets.
Filipino seafarers, he said, can also participate in overseas voting even while at sea.
Over 50,000 government employees and other eligible individuals registered for local absentee voting, according to Comelec.
Chairman Garcia reported they received total of 72,208 applications for local absentee voting, but only 57,569 were approved, while 14,638 were denied.
Comelec previously extended application period for local absentee voting due to numerous requests.
Members of Armed Forces of the Philippines, Philippine National Police and media practitioners who are on duty during election day can avail themselves of local absentee voting.
