Filipinos in Norway benefited from the preparations made by the Philippine Embassy for the 2025 national elections.
The embassy conducted field registration for Filipinos in Iceland who were eligible to vote but were not yet registered.
The field registration took place on June 16 and 17, 2023, from 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. at the Miðgarður by Center Hotels, Laugavegur 120, 105 Reykjavik, Iceland.
Filipinos who wished to register were required to bring their valid Philippine passport.
In the absence of a valid Philippine passport, supporting documents such as a certification issued by the embassy, photocopy of the identification certificate for dual citizens, or photocopy of seafarers book for seafarers could be presented.
By registering as overseas voters, Filipinos in Norway were able to actively participate in the important decisions of the COMELEC national elections and had a say in shaping the future of the Philippines.
