For the information of all registered voters under the consular jurisdiction of the Philippine Embassy in Japan (Kanto, Nagano, Shizuoka, Okinawa and the northern areas of Japan), the following procedures will be observed in the conduct of the 2019 National Elections:

1. The election period for overseas voting is from 13 April to 13 May 2019.  End of voting is at 7 pm on 13 May 2019, Japan time.

3. The mode of voting will be postal voting.  The Embassy will send mail packets containing instructions, return envelopes and ballots to voters listed in the CLOV.  The address where the ballots will be mailed is the address provided by the registered voter when he/she registered for overseas voting during the registration period.
