Although the Filipino presence in the Czech Republic is not as substantial as in the region, it is one of the most politically engaged foreign voter communities in the world. As a result, our kababayans in this country are eager to determine their voting eligibility in advance of the national elections in 2022. To begin, go to the website of the Philippine Embassy and look for your name on the list of certified overseas voters.
The Philippine Embassy in the Czech Republic 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 help find Filipino voters who are based in the region.

Tip: To prevent having to navigate through a long list of names, use CTRL + F. On the internet, there will be a search box where you may input your last name to see if your information is available. Because the document is case-sensitive, double-check that your name is spelled correctly and that the field contains no additional spaces or characters.
If your name appears on the country’s list of recognized overseas voters, you will be entitled to vote in the Philippine presidential elections in 2022. From April 27 to May 9, overseas voters will be able to vote.
Question: What if I’m not on the list, can I still vote?
Answer: Anyone who has not registered to vote will be unable to vote in this election. Those who are unable to vote this year must register to vote in future elections once the current election cycle has ended.

Reminders When Voting During PH Elections
Citizens’ votes are important to the government because they enable Filipinos from all over the world to engage in political and social concerns in their motherland. The ideal candidate will be able to cope with the country’s current situation while also portraying Filipinos in a positive manner across the world.
Remember To Vote Wisely
Voters should consider the candidates’ ideals and personality traits when selecting their leader. When it’s time to elect a new president, these will help us make an educated decision. Only persons with exceptional ambitions and aims for the people and the country should be considered for leadership positions. Examine the candidates’ policies to evaluate if they attempt to improve the lives of Filipinos living in other countries.
The Importance of Overseas Voting
The next national elections have a lot riding on them. Furthermore, the importance of votes cast by Filipinos residing in other countries cannot be overstated. Over a million Filipinos have emigrated to other nations to live or work. Their revenues help the Philippines thrive economically.
Despite the tiny Filipino population in the Czech Republic, Filipinos in the capital and other parts of the nation are united by their links to the country, their families, and their common experiences of living abroad for decades or longer.
Because the majority of these people are breadwinners, they have a voice in how their families run their homes. As a result, every vote cast by a Filipino residing abroad matters; make sure yours does too.
FINAL THOUGHTS
We only have a few weeks to prepare for the new leaders who will lead our country in a new path as Election Day approaches.
Many people are astonished by the number of people who have shown their ability to lead the country, as well as the existence of dubious candidates claiming to be “the one” – but isn’t this true of every election?
As a result, your vote will be crucial in electing a president with the necessary abilities and experience to guide the country through these trying times.
A leader who could solve the country’s current problems while simultaneously portraying a positive image to the rest of the globe would be ideal.
Leaders who are devoted to democracy and freedom will be required if the country is to achieve its objectives. It is critical that we all work together to strengthen the country when we choose the leaders for future elections. Let us use our combined strength, as seen by our votes, to improve our home country, the Philippines, regardless of where we are in the world.
Will you be able to vote in the next elections now that the official list of overseas voters has been released? Under the supervision and guidance of the Philippine diplomatic mission in the Czech Republic, how was the verification procedure carried out? Do you have any recommendations for Filipinos who are planning to vote in this year’s national elections? Is there anything else you’d like to say to other Filipinos who could be in your shoes?
