13 May 2019, Calgary – The
Philippine Consulate General (PCG) in Calgary has completed the counting of overseas
votes in its jurisdiction for the 2019 Philippine National and Local Elections.
The PCG’s Special Board of Election Inspectors (SBEI), headed by
SBEI Chairperson Zaldy Patron, led the counting of votes which started at 4:00
A.M. of 13 May 2019, synchronized with the start of the counting of votes in
the Philippines.
During the 30-day
period of postal voting which started on 13 April 2019, the PCG mailed ballots
to 4,341 registered overseas Filipino voters and received 1,104 ballots for a
voter turnout of 25.43 percent.
The election returns generated
by the PCG’s voting counting machine will be delivered to the Special Board of
Canvassers (SBOC) based at the Philippine Embassy in Ottawa for canvassing.
