As the Philippines prepares for the 2022 elections, our kababayan in Argentina may now verify if they are eligible to vote in the next presidential elections. This may be done by going to the Philippine Foreign Mission’s website and looking for the list of certified overseas voters.
The Philippine Embassy in Argentina has released the list of voters for the 2022 elections. The latest certified list of overseas voters (CLOV) will be used for the National and Local Elections. Overseas Filipinos based in this country and under its jurisdictions (Paraguay, Uruguay, and Bolivia) may refer to this document to verify their registration status.

Question: What if I’m not on the list, can I still vote?

Yes, but you must also submit a Letter of Request for Registration Transfer to the COMELEC-OFOV from the embassy or consulate of your host nation in Manila.
When will the list of certified absentee voters in Argentina be released?
The Commission on Elections (COMELEC) will send a list of certified abroad voters to various foreign missions throughout the world within 120 days after the election.
The COMELEC, in an official statement, said: “Preparation and Posting of Certified List of Overseas Absentee Voters. – The Commission shall prepare the Certified List of Overseas Absentee Voters within one hundred twenty (120) days before every election, and furnish within the same period copies thereof to the appropriate embassies, consulates, and other foreign service establishments, which shall post the same in their bulletin boards within ten (10) days from receipt thereof.”
Reminders When Voting During PH Elections
The government values citizens’ votes because they allow them to participate in the country’s political and educational choices. The ideal candidate will be able to cope with the country’s current situation while simultaneously projecting a favorable image of Filipinos abroad.
Remember To Vote Wisely
When choosing a political candidate, voters should look at the candidates’ policies and character traits. These facts will help us make an informed judgment when it comes time to pick a new president. Those in positions of authority should only be elected if they have good plans and intentions. While making your selection, make sure that the candidate’s platform aims to improve the circumstances of Filipinos living overseas, too.
The Importance of Overseas Voting
There is a lot riding on the coming national elections. Furthermore, the importance of votes cast by citizens from other nations cannot be overemphasized. Over a million Filipinos have left the country to live or work in foreign countries. Their earnings contribute to the country’s economic growth.
Filipinos in Argentina, though not the largest overseas Filipino community, is bonded by their ties to the homeland, faith background, and shared experiences of living overseas – some for over decades or more.
These individuals wield power over their families’ domestic decisions as breadwinners. As a result, every vote made by a Filipino living abroad counts, therefore make sure yours is, too!
FINAL THOUGHTS
As Election Day approaches, we only have a limited amount of time to prepare for the new leaders who will change the course of our country.
Many people are amazed by the number of people who have proved their competence to lead the country, as well as the existence of questionable others claiming to be “the one” – as is always the case, right?
As a result, your vote will be critical in electing a president with the skills and experience needed to lead the country through these difficult times.
It would be fantastic if a leader could deal with the country’s current situation while also portraying a favorable attention in the global arena.
Leaders who are committed to democracy and freedom are also needed to realize the country’s goals. When we pick the leaders for future elections, it is vital that we all work together to build the country. Let us make the most of our power to make our country a better place.
Now that you’ve seen the certified list of overseas voters, will you be able to vote in the coming elections? How was the verification procedure carried out under the supervision and guidance of the Philippine diplomatic mission in Argentina? Do you have any advice for Filipinos who are still thinking about whether or not to vote in this year’s national elections?
