Filipinos in New Zealand urged to return ‘flawed ballots’

By Gabriela Baron

The Philippine Embassy in Wellington, New Zealand urged Filipino voters to return the ballots that allegedly excluded a presidential candidate’s name.

The Embassy released the statement following the allegations on social media that a voting ballot sent by the Embassy excluded the name of Vice President Leni Robredo.

“Anyone who claims that they have received a ballot with an erasure/non-appearance of any of the entries is requested to return the entire ballot package to the Embassy so that we can verify the claim,” the Embassy said in a statement released Sunday, April 24.

The Embassy also assured the public that it is coordinating with the Commission on Elections.

“The Philippine Embassy in Wellington is committed to upholding the integrity of the national elections as we stand by our oath as career civil servants to uphold the values of patriotism, integrity, professionalism, excellence, and service.” – ag
