Despite the fact that the Filipino population in Cambodia is not as large as in other Asian countries, the Filipino community in Cambodia is one of the most active foreign voters in the world. As such, our kababayans in this region may begin preparing for the national elections in 2022 by determining their eligibility to vote. To begin, go to the Philippine Foreign Mission’s website and search for your name on the list of certified overseas voters who have been certified.
The Philippine Embassy in Cambodia has made the voter list for the 2022 elections public. The most recent list of certified overseas voters (CLOV) will be used in the National and Local Elections. This document can be used to identify registered overseas Filipino voters around the country.

If you are a Filipino living in Cambodia and need assistance with the overseas voting procedure or validating your information on the CLOV, please contact the country’s diplomatic office.

Use the quick shortcut presented in the next section to check your voter’s information from the list.
Tip: Use CTRL + F to avoid having to scroll through a big list of names. There will be a search box on the internet where you may enter your last name to see if your information is accessible. Double-check that your name is spelled correctly and that the field contains no additional spaces or characters, as the document is case-sensitive.
You will be eligible to vote in the Philippine presidential elections in 2022 if your name appears on the country’s list of certified overseas voters. Voting for overseas voters will take place from April 27 to May 9.
Question: What if I’m not on the list, can I still vote?
Answer: No one will be allowed to vote in this election unless they have registered to vote. Those who are unable to vote this year must register for future elections when the current election cycle is completed. By following this guide, you may vote in Cambodia or from anywhere else in the globe.
How to Find your name in the list of overseas voters?
The list of registered voters is accessible in PDF format on the website of the Philippine diplomatic mission in Cambodia. Everything you’ll need to participate in the overseas voting procedure is on this list.
What does it mean if my name is included in the list of Overseas Voters?
This indicates that you have registered to vote and will be able to vote in the upcoming election.
What if my name is not on the list of registered voters?
Unfortunately, you will be unable to vote in the national elections in the Philippines in 2022. You must register to vote before the following election cycle if you wish to vote in future elections.
I registered as an overseas absentee voter in 2013 and I was able to vote in the 2013 and 2016 National Elections but was unable to vote in 2019 National Elections. Do I still need to apply for certification to vote abroad?
Both the national voter list and the National Register of Overseas Voters would include your name. If you do not vote in your host country in 2022, your name will be removed from the list.
I registered as an overseas voter in 2019 but I know I will be in the Philippines come May 2022. Can I vote in the 2022 elections in the Philippines?
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 Cambodia be released?
The Commission on Elections (COMELEC) will provide a list of certified overseas voters to various diplomatic missions across the world within 120 days of the official election campaign period.
The COMELEC announced in an official statement: “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 Filipinos from all over the world to participate in political and educational issues in their homeland. The ideal candidate will be able to deal with the country’s current predicament while also projecting a favorable image of Filipinos outside.
Remember To Vote Wisely
When choosing a political leader, voters should examine the candidates’ principles and personality attributes. These will aid us in making an informed judgment when it comes time to elect a new president. For leadership roles, only individuals with outstanding ambitions and objectives should be considered. Examine the policies of the candidate to see if any effort is made to improve the lives of Filipinos in other countries.
The Importance of Overseas Voting
There is a lot riding on the next national elections. Furthermore, the importance of votes cast by Filipinos residing abroad cannot be emphasized. Over a million Filipinos have left the country to live or work in foreign countries. Their earnings contribute to the Philippines’ economic growth.
Despite the fact that the Filipino population in Cambodia is small, Filipinos in Phnom Penh and other parts of the region are united by their links to the nation, their families, and their common experiences of spending decades or more overseas.
There are around a thousand Filipinos working in Cambodia. They mostly manage hotels, restaurants, and English teachers. The Filipinos are regarded as hard-working individuals in the country.
Because the majority of these people are breadwinners, they have a say in the home decisions that their families make. As a result, every vote cast by a Filipino living abroad matters; make sure yours does too.
FINAL THOUGHTS
As Election Day approaches, we only have a limited time to prepare for the new leaders who will change the path of our country.
Many people are surprised by the number of people who have demonstrated their potential to lead the country, as well as the existence of questionable candidates claiming to be “the one” – but isn’t this true of every election?
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 wonderful to have a leader who could cope with the country’s current situation while also projecting a favorable image to the rest of the world.
For the country to fulfill its goals, it will need leaders who are committed to democracy and freedom. When we pick the leaders for future elections, it is vital that we all work together to build the country. Let us, regardless of where we are in the globe, use our collective strength, as shown in our votes, to develop our home nation, the Philippines.
Will you be allowed to vote in the next elections now that the official list of abroad voters has been released? How was the verification procedure carried out under the supervision and guidance of the Philippine diplomatic mission in Cambodia? Do you have any advice for Filipinos preparing to vote in the national elections this year? Is there anything else you’d like to tell other Filipinos who could find themselves in your situation? We’d love to hear your thoughts in the comments section below. Also, please share this information with any friends or family members who might be interested.
