OFWs can now register as an Overseas Absentee Voter at NAIA 1, Mondays through Sundays 7am-10pm according to the Manila International Airport Authority website.
The government aims to increase OFW participation in the next national elections on May 2013. Their plans also include setting up booths in the POEA, DFA, OWWA offices and distributing information materials
Migrante-Middle East in its blog welcomed this development although it also pointed out “the conduct of massive OAV registration information and dissemination, and voter’s education campaign abroad is still wanting”.
