SAN FRANCISCO, 29 September 2021 – The Philippine Commission on Elections (COMELEC) has extended the registration period for overseas voters until 14 October 2021. With the new deadline for overseas voting registration, the Philippine Consulate General in San Francisco urges Filipinos to register from today until 14 October, Mondays through Fridays from 9 AM to 5 PM, at the Philippine Center on 447 Sutter Street, San Francisco. (The Consulate will be closed on 11 October 2021 in commemoration of Columbus Day, a U.S. federal holiday).

The Consulate will also open on Saturday, 9 October 2021 from 9 AM to 5 PM, for a special overseas voting registration to enable Filipinos who cannot come to the Consulate on weekdays to register.

The Consulate reminds overseas voters who were deactivated by the COMELEC for failing to vote in the 2016 and 2019 National and Local Elections to re-register to enable them to vote in the 2022 Presidential Elections.
