PHL EMBASSY CONDUCTS FIELD PRE-VOTING ENROLLMENT AND ONLINE VOTING ACTIVITY IN DAEGU


13 April 2025, Daegu. As part of its efforts to increase accessibility and encourage voter participation, the Philippine Embassy in Seoul conducted a Field Pre-Voting Enrollment (PVE) and Online Voting (OV) Activity in Daegu from April 12 to 13, 2025. The outreach aimed to bring voter registration services closer to Overseas Filipinos in the southern region of Korea, particularly in Daegu City and nearby areas.

During the Field PVE and OV, the Embassy rendered assistance to a total of 100 Overseas Filipinos, including several community leaders whose participation is expected to help cascade vital electoral information throughout their respective Filipino communities. To ensure broader awareness and facilitate the enrollment process, the Embassy also distributed printed materials containing important dates for the 2025 National and Local Elections and a step-by-step guide to the PVE. 

All registered and active Overseas Voters must complete the pre-voting enrollment until 07 May 2025 only, as required to verify their identity and ensure their access to the Online Voting and Counting System (OVCS) or online voting during the official Overseas Voting period which will open on 13 April 2025, 8:00 AM KST, and close on 12 May 2025, 8:00 PM KST. 

Before the official start of the 30-day period of online Overseas Voting, those who have pre-enrolled can do Test Voting to familiarize themselves with the system. However, this feature of the OVCS is available only until 12 April 2025. 

The Embassy is expected to continue with the Field PVE and Online Voting Outreach in Busan and Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia from April 19-20; Gyeonggi-do on April 26; and Hyehwadong, Seoul on May 4, 2025. We encourage Filipinos who are registered for overseas voting to exercise their right to vote. END
