Comelec official suspects having to buy stamp stopping overseas Filipinos from voting

Watch more on iWantTFC MANILA - There is an average of 1.3 million Filipino voters overseas but only an estimated 60 percent of this number voted during the 2019 elections. The rest may have skipped voting because they had to buy their own stamps to mail their vote, a poll official said.

"Ang isang reason why maraming, sa malayo, hindi makaboto by mail, kasi puwede pong sa overseas mag-mail-in ballot, wala po silang pambili ng stamp kasi lalabas pa sila, bibili ng stamp, ihuhulog sa box," Guanzon said. Philippine voters overseas can choose either personal, postal or a mixed method of voting for #Halalan2022.

"Sinisita nila ang Comelec dahil ang overseas voters hindi makaboto, eh wala nga po kaming stamp. Wala kayo sa aming binibigay na stamp. 'Yung DBM laging sina-slash 'yung budget namin sa stamps. So, 'yan, magandang malaman nila na wala pala," she said.
