SAN FRANCISCO, USA – The Philippine Consulate General in San Francisco approved 2,928 overseas voting (OV) applications filed from 1 July 2023 to 30 September 2023, during the hearing of the Consulate’s Resident Election Registration Board (RERB) on 16 October 2023.
The Consulate’s RERB has so far approved a total of 6,721 OV applications since registration of overseas voters resumed on 9 December 2022.
The RERB is composed of Vice Consul Adrian Baccay as Substitute RERB Chair, and Ms. Genevieve Ferrer as RERB Member.
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. The Consulate’s method of overseas voting is postal voting, where official ballots are sent to the overseas voter’s preferred address via mail.
Registered overseas voters of previous elections who moved to a new address within the Consulate’s area of jurisdiction are also urged to visit the Consulate and apply for change of address.
Additional information on the ongoing overseas voting registration is available on the
Consulate’s official OV page: https://pcgsanfrancisco.org/overseas-voting/. END
