MANILA, Philippines—With about 50 days left before the close of the voter registration period for the 2013 poll, the Commission on Elections (Comelec) and the Department of Foreign Affairs (DFA) on Friday made a last call for overseas Filipino workers to enlist at the embassy closest to them.
“We are encouraging all the OFWs to register for the 2013 elections. We have a deadline on Oct. 31,” said Comelec Chair Sixto Brillantes Jr. on Friday.
In a press conference, Commissioner Lucenito Tagle announced that as of Sept. 7, only 242,767 OFWs have registered as overseas absentee voters. Registration started in November last year.
