The Philippine Embassy in Thailand reminds Filipinos in the Kingdom to take note of following dates and guidelines needed for the upcoming midterm national elections.

In a Facebook post, the Philippine Embassy in Bangkok would like to inform all registered Filipino overseas voters that a pre-voting enrollment period for online overseas voting will begin on March 20, 2025, Thursday.

Overseas voting period is from April 13 to May 12, 2025.

The Embassy reiterates to only use links and websites from the COMELEC and Embassy only.
