It has begun...
Voting for senatorial posts and a party list representative has started for Filipinos overseas. It will be open until 3 pm of the 14th of May 2007. The Overseas Absentee Voting (OAV) Act of 2003 made this possible, thereby giving a chance to qualified citizens of the Philippines abroad to exercise their right to vote.
To be able to take part in this exercise, Filipinos abroad must apply to vote in absentia. If approved, applicant will be included in the list of registered overseas absentee voters prepared by the Committee on Absentee Voting (COAV) of the Commission on Elections (COMELEC) on a country-by-country basis.
Check out MLQ3 and Global Nation for the list of countries where voting will be done either by mail or in person.
Singapore is one of the several countries where voting by mail will be implemented. In the 2004 national elelctions where absentee voters were required to personally vote in the embassies and consultes as only three countries - Canada, Japan and UK - were allowed to vote by mail.
Registered voters will be sent a mail by the COMELEC Office in Manila which also includes a list of the candidates. The announcement from the Philippine Embassy in Singapore gives details on how to vote by mail.
