Overseas voting begins for 2022 Philippine elections
Voting for the 2022 Philippine elections begins Sunday, April 10, for overseas Filipinos, who will cast their ballots until May 9.
Over 1.6 million Filipinos are registered to vote overseas, a decrease for the first time since overseas elections started in 2004.
Registered overseas voters will cast their votes for national positions, including president, vice president, senators, and party-list groups.
They can vote through personal voting at Philippine posts or by postal mode, where ballots are sent and returned via mail.
Some consular offices with postal voting also allow voters to pick up and drop off ballots at the posts.
