The Philippine Government, led by the Maritime Industry Authority (Marina), and the Commission on Elections (Comelec), is gearing up toward the 2025 mid-term elections.

This is in order not to disenfranchise the hundreds of thousands of Filipino seafarers onboard international-going ships with their Right to Suffrage.

The Centers will operate until September 30, 2024, to ensure the continuous registration of qualified overseas Filipino voters. PHOTO FROM MARINA
