GET READY FOR THE PHILIPPINE NATIONAL ELECTIONS!
A few months ago, there was a beta test of the online voting process that was held at the Philippine Consulate General in San Francisco. Participants, including myself, were able to appreciate these new efforts in making online voting an effective and easy experience for all registered Filipino voters in the consulate’s jurisdiction. Here are the latest updates!
