This is in response to the low number of pre-enrollees in the first internet voting
MANILA, Philippines – The Commission on Elections (Comelec) on Saturday, May 10, once again extended the deadline for overseas Filipinos to pre-enroll in the internet voting system to Monday, May 12.
Registered overseas voters now have until noon on election day to register.
Pre-enrollment began on March 22 and was supposed to end on Wednesday, May 7, but it was initially extended to Saturday, May 10.
Comelec’s Office for Overseas Voting requested the first extension due to the low number of pre-enrollees. Around 200,000 voters were pre-enrolled as of Tuesday, May 6.
Online overseas voting began on April 13. This is the first election cycle that the poll body is implementing internet voting.
Migrant groups have raised concerns about the lack of information campaigns on the new system.
Filipinos abroad who have voted also raised technical concerns such as the lack of a voter’s receipt after casting their ballots.
