MANILA – According to Commission on Elections (Comelec) Chairman George Garcia, they will push for internet voting for Filipinos abroad.

The poll chief said during a television interview that he believes internet voting will increase voter turnout for overseas voting because many voters find it difficult to vote in person or by postal voting.

“If internet voting will be allowed…we believe that the overseas voter turnout will be higher,” Garcia said.

“During the last elections, the overseas voter turnout was at 29 percent. It would be better if we can provide another alternative,” he added.

“Certainly, it will be better if we can push for the use of internet voting for Filipinos abroad,” said Garcia.

However, he stated that Congress will always have the final say.

Last year, the Comelec conducted a series test runs for overseas internet voting.
