23 June 2015 – The Philippine Embassy in Riyadh successfully conducted its 14th overseas voters registration outreach for 2015 at Al Jazeera International School in Al Khobar, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia from June 19 to 20.
The overseas voters outreach mission is a part of the Embassy’s thrust to deliver overseas voting services closer to Filipinos in Saudi Arabia to enable them to vote during the 2016 national elections.
This is the 1st overseas voter registration outreach conducted for the year during the month of Ramadan.
A total of 267 new overseas voters, four certifications and one reactivation were facilitated by members of Embassy.
Philippine Ambassador to the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia Mr. Ezzedin H. Tago invited all Filipinos in Saudi Arabia to register as overseas voters before the deadline on October 31. “We only have over four months left before the deadline. I urge all Filipinos to register and exercise their right to vote during the National Elections next year,” said Ambassador Tago.
Registering as overseas voter will enable all qualified Filipinos in Saudi Arabia to vote for the positions of President, Vice President, 12 members of the Senate and one Party-list sectoral representative during the national elections in May 2016.
Overseas voters registration services are available at the Embassy lobby from Sunday through Thursday, 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m., during the month of Ramadan and from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. thereafter until October 31 this year. Overseas voters registration services will also be provided during scheduled Embassy-on-Wheels (EOW) outreach missions. END
