Shanghai, 01 June 2021 – The Philippine Consulate General is urging Filipinos in the Shanghai metropolitan area and in the provinces of Zhejiang, Jiangsu, Hubei, and Anhui to register in order to cast their votes in the May 2022 polls.

The registration period began on 16 December 2019 and ends on 30 September 2021. Registered overseas voters may cast their votes for President, Vice President, Senators and Party-List Representatives.

With the registration period on its final four months, Consul General Josel F. Ignacio exhorted kababayans to visit the Consulate General and register. “Sa halalan, ang balota po ang tinig. Ang una at kinakailangang hakbang po ay ang pagpapatalâ bilang botante. Aasahan po naming ang inyong pagdating.”

Having only arrived from Manila in April to assume his post in Shanghai, the Consul General himself registered to be able to cast his vote at the Consulate, come May 2022. END
