MANILA, Philippines — The Commission on Elections (Comelec) announced that overseas voter registration for the 2028 national and local polls will begin on Dec. 1, 2025, giving millions of Filipinos abroad almost two years to enlist.
In an advisory posted on social media, the poll body said the registration period would run until Sept. 30, 2027. During this time, Filipinos overseas may apply for new registration, transfer of records, reactivation, correction of entries, change of address, reinclusion, or certification.
Applicants are required to present a valid Philippine passport, a post-issued certification, or a certified true copy of the order approving their retention or reacquisition of Philippine citizenship. Seafarers may also submit a photocopy of their Seafarer’s Identification and Record Book.
Applications may be filed at Philippine embassies, consulates, designated registration centers abroad, the Comelec Office for Overseas Voting in Manila, or at local field registration centers in the Philippines during office hours.
