THE Department of Foreign Affairs said preparations were in full swing in all its outposts around the world for the implementation of internet voting among overseas Filipinos in next year's national elections.

'DFA-OVS (Department of Foreign Affairs-Overseas Voting Secretariat) fully supports Comelec (Commission on Elections) with this additional new mode of voting that will not only encourage our countrymen abroad to exercise their right of suffrage but will also make the electoral process easier and more convenient for them. Information campaigns on internet voting will also play a vital role in the success of it. The Secretariat is committed and ready to assist Comelec through our Foreign Service Posts in this regard,' Foreign Affairs Undersecretary Jesus Domingo said in a statement.
