Consulate in SF Calls on Registered Voters to Check ‘Return-to-Sender’ List
The Philippine Consulate General in San Francisco wishes to remind all registered overseas voters under its jurisdiction to check if they are in the List of Voters with No or Incomplete Address and List of Returned Postal Voting Packets. The lists are updated daily and published on the Consulate’s website: pcgsanfrancisco.org.
The Consulate has set the deadline of 25 April for registered overseas voters to notify the Consulate if they have not received their ballots and they are in the two aforementioned lists.
Overseas voters may email the Consulate at [email protected] to inform the Consulate about their updated address (within the provided timeline of 25 April to allow ample time for mailing and sending back the packet). Alternatively, they can pick up their ballots and drop off the same at the Consulate before the close of the voting period on 9 May 2022, 4 AM (Pacific Time).
Overseas voters in the List of Voters with No or Incomplete Address include registered voters that may have listed their address as “c/o the Philippine Consulate General or 447 Sutter Street, San Francisco” or voters that have incomplete address in their COMELEC registration records.
Overseas voters in the List of Returned Postal Voting Packets are those whose mailing packets have been returned to the sender, which is the Consulate, and whose addressees have no known address. Such mailing packets usually have USPS sticker remarks affixed on them that usually read, “attempted not known- unable to forward.”
As of 18 April 2022, the Consulate has sent out the postal voting packets to all registered overseas voters within its jurisdiction. The Consulate has been receiving accomplished postal voting packets from registered overseas voters, and these are included in the “ballot feedings” on Mondays and Thursdays at the Philippine Center in San Francisco.
