LOS ANGELES 20 April 2022 – Consul General Edgar Badajos and Mr. Steve Angeles of The Filipino Channel-Balitang Amerika casted their ballot on 18 April 2022 signaling that overseas voting which started on April 9 for Philippine Foreign Service Posts is in full swing. Two accredited poll watchers closely observed the entire proceeding.

In an interview with Mr. Angeles, Consul General Badajos announced that the Consulate General will issue a list of returned-to-sender ballots as some of the overseas voters no longer reside in their recorded residential address

“I would like to remind registered overseas voters to carefully read the instructions inside the ballot mailing packets, particularly on how to correctly accomplish ballots and mail them back.  Please remember that for a ballot to be counted, it should be received by the Consulate General no later than 4:00 A.M. of 09 May 2022,” the Consul General added.

The Consulate General is mandated to implement postal voting, which means that ballots are sent out to the registered voters.  Each ballot mailing packet contains one official ballot, an official return envelope, a paper seal and illustrated voting instructions.
