Comelec: 3 million overseas voters eyed in 2025 polls

Committee on Electoral Reforms and People's Participation chairperson Senator Imee Marcos reminds the Commission on Elections that while it has rule-making power as a constitutional commission, it does not have the power to enact laws on February 13, 2024.MANILA, Philippines — With internet voting, the Commission on Elections is looking to have up to three million Filipinos abroad participate in the May 2025 midterm elections.

Garcia reminded Filipinos abroad to register at the soonest possible time because the Comelec is not extending the Sept. 30 deadline. However, Filipinos abroad cannot automatically use internet voting. Garcia said Filipinos abroad need to pre-register starting January until election day so they could use their gadgets for online voting.

Garcia said the OWWA, AMOSUP and Rotary International will be helping out the commission in mounting a massive information drive to educate overseas Filipinos on internet voting and encourage them to participate in next year’s elections. Garcia said there is no formal submission of application and that at this time the Comelec is fully staffed.
