NOTICE ON FIELD OVERSEAS VOTER REGISTRATION IN GUMI


The Philippine Embassy informs all Filipino nationals in South Korea who are eligible and not yet registered to vote in the 2025 National Elections that it will be conducting a field Overseas Voter Registration on 18 June 2023, Sunday, from 08:00 AM to 5:00 PM at 53 Songwonseo-ro 8-gil, Gumi-Si, Gyeongsangbuk-d0 (3F Gumi Catholic Center). To apply for Overseas Voter Registration, please follow the instructions below:

1. Go to the iRehistro portal which may be accessed at https://irehistro.comelec.gov.ph/irehistro/ovf1 or https://tinyurl.com/ovregform1, or by scanning the QR Code .



2. Save the generated iRehistro form, print it out making sure all the QR codes on the second page are complete, and bring it, together with a valid Philippine Passport and a copy of the datapage, to the field registration site at the Gumi Catholic Center for the taking of biometrics.

In the absence of a valid Philippine Passport, supporting documents can be any of the following: 1) Identification Certificate and a photocopy thereof for dual citizens; 2) Seafarer's Book and a photocopy of the datapage for sea-based workers; or 3) Certification from the Embassy for those with lost or expired passports and are eligible to apply for lost passport replacement or passport renewal.
