It’s no wonder that Greece has a flourishing Filipino population, given its strong economy and good standard of living. Despite their residency overseas, Filipinos in the nation are considered among the world’s most politically active people. Because of this, many of them are eager to learn whether or not they will be able to vote in the elections of 2022. To begin, go to the websites of the Philippine Foreign Posts and search for your name on the list of certified overseas voters.
As the Philippines prepares for elections, the Philippine embassy in Greece has already made the voters’ list available to our kababayans. The most recent list of certified overseas voters (CLOV) will be used in this election. This document might also be used to estimate the number of Filipino voters in the country.

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 when the current election cycle is completed. You may vote in Greece or from anywhere else on the earth if you follow this guide.

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 Greece be released?
Within 120 days of the formal election campaign period, the Commission on Elections (COMELEC) will transmit a list of confirmed foreign voters to various diplomatic embassies across the world.
In an official release, the COMELEC stated: “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 people’s votes because they allow Filipinos from all over the world to engage in the country’s political and social concerns. The ideal candidate will be able to deal with the country’s present difficulties while also portraying Filipinos in a positive light across the world.
Remember To Vote Wisely
Voters should consider the candidates’ ideals and personality traits when choosing a leader. These will aid us in making an educated choice when it comes time to vote for a new president. Only those with compelling ideas and a clear vision for the people and the country should be considered for leadership roles. Examine the candidates’ policies to evaluate if they attempt to improve the lives of Filipinos living abroad.
The Importance of Overseas Voting
There is a lot riding on the next elections. Furthermore, the significance of votes cast by Filipinos living overseas cannot be emphasised. 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 country’s small Filipino community, Filipinos in Athens and other regions of the country are united by their ties to their homeland, families, and shared experiences of living abroad for decades or longer.
Because the majority of these people are breadwinners, they have a voice in how their families operate their houses. As a result, every vote cast by a Filipino residing abroad is significant; make sure yours is among them.
FINAL THOUGHTS
As Election Day approaches, we only have a few weeks to prepare for the new leaders who will lead our country in a more constructive direction.
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 critical in electing a president with the qualifications and experience to lead the country through these hard times.
It would be ideal to have a leader who can solve the country’s current problems while simultaneously displaying a positive image to the rest of the globe.
The country will require leaders who are devoted to democracy and freedom in order to achieve its objectives. When choosing leaders for future elections, it is critical that we all work together to strengthen the country. Let us use our combined strength, as seen by our votes, to improve our home country, the Philippines, regardless of where we are on the planet.
