National Federation of Filipino American Associations

From Baylan Megino:

Today the voters can truly vote “in absentia” for the upcoming Philippine Presidential elections. Register at the nearest Philippine Consulate once, and you may vote by mail ever after. For the Philippine Election 2010, voter registration began February 1, 2009 and will end August 31, 2009.

** Bring your Certification of Dual Citizenship **

• If you are a Dual Citizen, register to vote by bringing your Philippine passport and your Certified Order of Approval or Oath of Allegiance.
• If you came to the US as a Visitor and overstayed, you still are a Filipino Citizen. Renew your Passport and register to vote.
• If you immigrated to the US prior to the 1991 Immigration Reform Act and you became a naturalized US citizen, to be a Dual Citizen you will reacquire your Philippine citizenship by applying for a Philippine Passport. Once a Dual Citizen, you may register to vote.

NOTE: You cannot register to vote if:
1) you lost and did not reacquire your Filipino citizenship;
2) you have a criminal conviction punishable by imprisonment of not less than a year; or
3) you are legally declared insane or incompetent of mind.
