The RERB is composed of Deputy Consul General Raquel Solano as RERB Chair, and Vice Consul Adrian Baccay and Ms. Genevieve Ferrer as RERB Members. Mr. Manuel Gamboa served as an observer during the proceedings.
Among the new overseas voters are Filipino citizens who registered during the Consulate’s consular outreach in Tacoma, Washington on 16-19 March 2024.
The Consulate, along with other Philippine embassies and consulates worldwide, will continue registering overseas voters until 30 September 2024.
Filipino citizens, including dual citizens, who will be outside the Philippines, are at least 18 years of age on 12 May 2025, and are not otherwise disqualified by law, may register with the Consulate as overseas voters for the 2025 Philippine National Elections.
Registered overseas voters of previous elections who moved to a new address within the Consulate’s area of jurisdiction, are requested to apply for change of address.
Qualified overseas voters may also register or update their address during the Consulate’s consular outreach missions. The Consulate covers the states of Alaska, Northern and Central California, Colorado, Idaho, Montana, Northern Nevada, Oregon, Utah, Washington, and Wyoming.
