NO BALLOTS RECEIVED UNTIL NOW

NO BALLOTS RECEIVED UNTIL NOW


A question is floating around Rome OAV Post (which includes Italy, Albania and San Marino): has anyone received the ballot to be used for OAV? It seems nobody has, and they wanted to know why.


Rome and Milan is among the sixteen posts that will utilise the modified Postal Balloting. In a recent inquiry, COMELEC representative in Rome PE replied that the ballots will be sent to voters covered by the post. It will be remembered that in the last OAV election (2010) a big number of voters has not received their ballots for many reasons: for one, the voter has moved to another address
without notifiying the Embassy is the most common. This is because the Post has not made an announcement to the voters of the type of balloting to be implemented and to effect the updating of the addresses of the OA voters. The same this year. No large scale information disseminations was done. They have been content in posting a poster or two inside the Embassy, leaving many Filipinos in the dark.

The second (and mostly unasked question) is what are they doing with the unreceived ballots?
