Iran is one of those countries that captivates and astounds tourists due to its allure and cloak of mystery. Despite their small number, Filipinos are among the most politically engaged immigrants in Iran. As a result, many of them are keen to find out if they will be able to vote in the 2022 elections. To begin, look for your name on the list of certified overseas voters (CLOV) on the websites of the Philippine Foreign Posts.

The most recent list of certified overseas voters (CLOV) will be used in this election. This document can also be used to estimate the number of voters who have registered to vote.

Tip: To prevent having to navigate through a large list of names, use CTRL + F. On the file, there will be a search box where you may enter your last name to see if your data is included. Because the document is case-sensitive, double-check that your name is spelled correctly and that there are no extra spaces or characters in the field.
If your name appears on the country’s list of certified overseas voters, you will be entitled to vote in the Philippine presidential elections in 2022. From April 27 to May 9, overseas Filipinos can vote via overseas absentee voting from Iran.
Question: What if I’m not on the list, can I still vote?
Answer: Those who have not registered to vote will be denied the right to vote in future elections. Those who are unable to vote this year must register to vote in future elections once the current election cycle has ended. You may vote in Iran or from anywhere in the world if you follow our simple registration guide.
How to Find your name in the list of overseas voters?
On the website of the Philippine diplomatic mission in Iran, a list of registered overseas voters is accessible in PDF format. This is a comprehensive list of everything you’ll need to vote from abroad.
What does it mean if my name is included in the list of Overseas Voters?
This means you’ve registered to vote and will be eligible 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 Philippines’ national elections in 2022. If you want to vote in future elections, you must register to vote before the next election cycle.
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?
Your name will be added to both the national voter list and the National Register of Overseas Voters. However, your name will be deleted from both lists if you do not vote in your host nation in 2022.
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 file a Letter of Request for Registration Transfer to the COMELEC-OFOV from your host country’s embassy or consulate in Manila.
When will the list of certified absentee voters in Iran 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.
The COMELEC made the announcement 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 the country’s political and social issues. The ideal candidate will be able to effectively lead the country through its current issues while also conveying a positive image of Filipinos across the world.
Remember To Vote Wisely
When selecting a leader, voters should consider the candidates’ perspectives and personality traits. When it comes time to vote for a new president, these will assist us in making an informed decision. Only individuals with compelling ideas and a clear vision for the people and the country should be considered for positions of leadership. Examine the candidates’ policies to discover if they have a strategy for improving the lives of Filipinos residing abroad.
The Importance of Overseas Voting
The upcoming election will have a lot riding on it. Furthermore, the importance of votes cast by Filipinos residing abroad cannot be overstated. Over a million Filipinos have left the country to live or work in foreign countries. Their earnings contribute to the growth of the Philippine economy.
Despite Iran’s small Filipino presence, Filipinos in Tehran and other areas of the country are united by ties to their hometown, family, and shared experiences of living abroad for decades or more.
Because most of these people work, they may influence how their families are handled. As a result, every vote cast by a Filipino residing in another country counts; make sure yours is one of them.
FINAL THOUGHTS
With only a few weeks till Election Day, overseas Filipinos must brace themselves for the new leaders who will drive our nation along a more progressive route.
Many people are surprised by the number of people who have demonstrated their ability to lead the country, as well as the emergence of dubious candidates claiming to be “the one” – but isn’t this true in every election?
As a result, your vote will be important in selecting a president with the traits and talents required to lead the country through these hard times.
It would be excellent to have a leader who can address the country’s current problems while also displaying a positive image to the rest of the world.
To achieve its objectives, the country will require leaders who are devoted to democracy and freedom. When selecting leaders for future elections, it is critical that we all work together to strengthen the country. Let us use our collective strength, as demonstrated by our votes, to improve our home nation, the Philippines, regardless of where we are in the globe.
So, are you qualified to vote in future elections based on your review of the CLOV supplied by your host country? What benefits have you gotten from this process? Were there any difficulties or problems that you encountered, and did you bring these to the attention of the Philippine diplomatic representation in your country? Please leave a comment to let us know what you think.
