The Commission on Elections (COMELEC) and the Department of Foreign Affairs (DFA) actively encourage overseas Filipino voters to register for online voting before the 2025 elections. This initiative simplifies Filipinos’ voting process abroad, allowing them to participate without visiting embassies or consulates.
To register, overseas Filipinos should visit their nearest Philippine embassy or consulate to complete the pre-voting enrollment. This step is mandatory before they can cast their votes online. The online voting period is scheduled from 13 April to May 12, 2025, concluding at 7 p.m. Philippine Standard Time.
Overseas voters are strongly advised to remain vigilant against fraudulent websites, emails, and social media pages posing as official sources. To ensure the security and integrity of your internet voting enrollment, always verify that you are accessing the official enrollment link.
COMELEC has collaborated with Miru Systems Co. Ltd to implement the Online Voting and Counting System (OVCS), an internet-based platform designed to facilitate voting for registered overseas Filipinos. This system enables voters to cast their ballots from any location, eliminating the need for physical presence at diplomatic missions.
The introduction of online voting represents a significant advancement in making the electoral process more accessible for Filipinos worldwide, reflecting the government’s commitment to inclusive participation in democratic processes.
The Commission on Elections (COMELEC) has announced the Online Voting Pre-Voting Enrollment link.
