The Embassy would like to provide the following updates on the 10 May 2010 National Elections:

• For registered overseas absentee voters who have received their electoral mails, you may send your officials ballots back to the Embassy ahead of the voting period which is from 10 April 2010 to 10 May 2010. Once received by the Embassy, your ballots will not be opened but kept in a ballot receptacle for counting on 10 May 2010, 6 pm, Philippine time.

• Please disregard the statement in the Instructions to Voters for Postal voting which states that “Failure to affix your thumbmark in the ballot coupon” would be a ground for invalidating the ballot. What will invalidate the ballot is the absence of the voter’s signature in the “Official Ballot Envelope.”

• The following registered voters may pick-up their official ballots from the Embassy, anytime from Monday to Friday, between 9 am and 12 noon and from 1 to 5 pm:

Attached is the list of names.

i've casted my vote already and sent my ballot back to the embassy....hopefully it would make a difference

Plus Karma for you Ms A for having exercised your rights to vote.

Got the OAV form by mail and will send to the Embassy once I got the final confirmation on who to vote for. I can't make up my mind as I read/see the news unfolding everyday in our beloved Philippines, all tactics are really creative but sad to say sometimes deceiving. Thanks for the updates MasterJ.
