The Comelec is pushing to make internet voting available to migrant Filipinos to raise the overseas voter turnout in 2025.

The Comelec said on Tuesday that the pitch will help them form their terms of reference and procurement papers.

Commissioner Marlon Casquejo, the poll official in-charge of overseas voting, added that their prime consideration is the reliability and credibility of the technology. “The third one is canvassing and consolidation. We’re looking for something like blockchain because it will stay for 30 days, wherever it is stored. If I am a voter, I can check whether my vote has been tampered or not,” he added.Casquejo clarified that internet voting will only be optional in 2025, as the more traditional modes of voting – either by mail or personally going to consulates or foreign posts – will still be made available.
