REGISTRATION FOR OVERSEAS VOTING FOR THE 2022 PRESIDENTIAL ELECTIONS
The Philippine Consulate General in Vancouver is pleased to announce that Filipinos in British Columbia, the Yukon and the Northwest Territories may now fill out their Overseas Voter registration forms prior to coming to the Consulate, through an online facility called iRehistro ( https://irehistro.comelec.gov.ph/irehistro/ovf1 ).
The online system allows applicants to accomplish the forms in advance, leaving only the biometrics (photograph, fingerprints and signature) to be taken at the Consulate during their visit, considerably shortening the registration process. After filling out the form, applicants need only to print it out in legal-sized paper, including the QR code, and bring that to the designated encoder at the Consulate who will then take the applicants’ biometrics.
