PHL EMBASSY OPENS PRE-VOTING ENROLMENT KIOSK AT CONSULAR SECTION AND CONDUCTS FIRST FIELD PVE IN GWANGJU METROPOLITAN CITY


28 March 2025, Seoul. As part of its efforts to increase accessibility and encourage voter participation, the Philippine Embassy in Seoul opened the Pre-Voting Enrollment (PVE) Kiosk at the Consular Section on 23 March 2025 where registered and active Overseas Voters will be able to complete their PVE with the guidance and assistance of COMELEC-deputized Embassy personnel. 

At the same time, the Embassy conducted its first Field Pre-Voting Enrollment (PVE) activity for the 2025 National Elections in Gwangju Metropolitan City from 22–23 March 2025. The outreach aimed to bring voter registration services closer to Overseas Filipinos in the southern region of Korea, particularly in Jeollanam-do Province.

During the Field PVE, the Embassy rendered assistance to a total of 31 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 Geoje on April 5-6, Daegu on April 12-13, Busan and Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia from April 19-20, Gyeonggi-do from April 26-27, and Hyehwadong, Seoul on May 4, 2025. We encourage Filipinos who are registered for overseas voting to exercise their right to vote. END
