NOTICE OF REGISTRATION AND ELECTION
TO ALL FILIPINO CITIZENS
The Commission on Elections (COMELEC)
announced today that the resumption
of overseas absentee voters’ (OAV)
registration period will be moved to
November 2, 2011 from October 31,
2011 as originally scheduled.
COMELEC Spokesman James Jimenez said
the poll body had to move the start
of the OAV list-up since Malacanan
has already declared October 31,
2011 as a special non-working
holiday to give full opportunity to
the public to properly remember
their dead “with all its religious
fervor.”
“We wish to inform our overseas
compatriots that they may register
as overseas absentee voters starting
November 2, 2011. Applications for
registration shall be filed before
authorized COMELEC representatives
at Embassies and Consulates that has
jurisdiction over the places they
temporarily reside. Applicants need
only present their valid Philippine
passports or Seaman’s Book for
seafarers when they register,”
Jimenez said.
The COMELEC spokesman said OAV
registration period will run from
November 2, 2011 until October 31 of
next year to give ample opportunity
to qualified OAV voters abroad to
exercise their right to suffrage.
The COMELEC has earlier said they
are aiming for one million OAV
registrants at the end of the
registration period. Source:

For purposes of the May 13, 2013
elections, the filing of
applications for
registration/certification and
transfer of registration records
shall be filed at the Post or other
designated registration areas from
October 31, 2011 to October 31, 2012.
The 30-day voting period will
commence on April
13, 2013 until 3:00 o’clock in the
afternoon (Philippine time) of May
13, 2013 at any Philippine embassies
or consulates. (The
time for voting to be announced
later)
