  2. The COMMISSION on Election ( Comelec ) is giving over 230,000 overseas workers ( OFWs ) facing removal from the official overseas voters list a second chance to remain on the roster so they can vote in the May 2013 elections.The Comelec in a resolution said that 238,557 overseas absentee voters (OAV) would be dropped from the list for their failure to vote in the last two elections in 2007 and 2010 as dictated by law.Failure to vote in two consecutive national elections is a basis for ouster from the Comelec voters list.But the Comelec en banc has decided to give the absentee voters until Dec. 21 to file a manifestation of their intent to vote in next year’s midterm elections if they wish to be retained in the National Registry of Overseas Absentee Voting ( NROAV ).
