Morocco is a country that captures the attention and amazement of visitors with its unique charm and mystery. Despite their small number, Filipinos in Morocco are among the most politically active immigrants in the country. Many of them are eager to know if they are eligible to vote in the upcoming 2025 elections. To check your eligibility, search for your name on the certified list of OFW voters (CLOV) on the websites of the Philippine Foreign Posts.
As the Philippines prepares for the elections, the Philippine Embassy in Morocco will make the list of overseas voters available to our kababayans. The most recent CLOV will be utilized in the coming election. This document may also be used to estimate the number of registered voters in the region.
Filipinos in Morocco can benefit from the preparations made by the Philippine Embassy there for the upcoming national elections.
The embassy recently conducted Overseas Voting Registration (OVR) services at the Philippine Honorary Consulate-General in Casablanca last October 5, 2023, from 1000H to 1500H.
All citizens of the Philippines abroad who are not otherwise disqualified by law and at least eighteen (18) years of age on May 12, 2025, are qualified to register to vote.
No appointment is required, and all qualified applicants will be accommodated on a first-come, first-served basis.
Applicants were only required to bring an accomplished Overseas Voter Registration Form (OVF1), an original valid Philippine passport, and a photocopy of the passport information page on the day of application.
In the absence of a valid passport or for more information on OVR, Filipinos in Morocco can check the official COMELEC website at https://comelec.gov.ph.
By registering as overseas voters, Filipinos in Morocco can actively participate in the important decisions of the upcoming COMELEC national elections and have a say in shaping the future of the Philippines.
