Six local field registration centers of the Commission on Elections- Office for Overseas Voting (OFOV) in Metro Manila are open to accepting applications from Filipino overseas workers beginning Monday until the end of the month while the region is under modified enhanced community quarantine.

Applicants for overseas voting may visit the registration centers located in the cities of Manila, Parañaque, Mandaluyong and Quezon, the Comelec-OFOV announced on its Facebook page.
