MANILA, Philippines — Overseas Filipino voters said they fear "massive disenfranchisement" because Philippine embassies and consulates are supposedly unprepared for the May polls and have failed to properly disseminate information on how Filipinos abroad can vote.

 

Overseas voting will be held for a month from April 10 to May 9 through in-person voting or by mailing in their ballots.

 

However, MIGRANTE International and 1Sambayan representatives abroad said that there is still much that needs to be done ahead of the elections. They said that some voters have yet to receive their mail-in voting ballots and inspections of voting counting machines or other election paraphernalia have yet to be done in some areas.
