The Philippine Embassy informs the public that, under Commission on Elections (COMELEC) Resolution No. 10833, the conduct of the Continuing Overseas Voter Registration will resume from 09 December 2022 until 30 September 2024. 

The Philippine Embassy will accept registration applications on 09 December 2022, Friday, the first day of the registration period, and thereafter during regular Embassy operations from Sundays to Thursdays, 09:30 A.M. to 4:30 P.M.

All applicants must accomplish the Overseas Voter Registration Form (OVF1) which can be found and downloaded from the COMELEC website https://comelec.gov.ph/php-tplsattachments/OverseasVoting/2023RegForms/AnnexA_OVF1.pdf and bring it to the Embassy (Room 102, 80 Hoenamu-ro, Yongsan-gu, Seoul 04346) with any of the following requirements:  (1) valid Philippine Passport and a photocopy of the datapage; (2) Identification Certificate for dual citizenship and a photocopy thereof; or (3) Seafarer’s Book and a photocopy of the datapage.

Additional guidelines on these will be issued by the COMELEC in preparation for the resumption of overseas voting registration.
