MAHALAGANG PAALAALA PARA SA MGA OVERSEAS FILIPINO VOTERS SA KOREA

• Nais pong ipabatid ng Pasuguan ng Pilipinas sa ating mga kababayan sa South Korea na ibinalik sa Embahada ng Korea Post ang mga mailing packets (na naglalaman ng blankong balota galling sa COMELEC, security seal at voting instructions) na aming ipinadala dahil sa mali o kulang na address na naibigay ng mga botante sa pagrehistro sa COMELEC. Dahil dito, at dahil na rin sa kagustuhan ng nakararami, ang mga mailing packets ay maaring kunin ng botante sa Embahada. Ang lahat ng rehistradong botante ay inaanyayahang bumisita sa lalong madaling panahon sa Embahada o bago mag-ika 13 ng Mayo 2019 (cut-off time 5pm) para personal na kunin ang kanilang mga mailing packets.
