OVERSEAS VOTERS URGED TO PERSONALLY
DROP OFF THEIR BALLOTS AT PCG NEW YORK

The Consulate General of the Philippines in New York strongly advises registered overseas voters who have just received their election packets to drop off their accomplished ballot envelopes personally at the Consulate to ensure that these will be included in the counting on Monday, 9 May 2022.
