Voting abroad at Royal Norwegian Embassy in Manila
Voting is important, even if you're abroad
As a Norwegian citizen that have lived abroad in different countries during elections. I've experienced how voting works both in Norway and abroad
Royal Norwegian Embassy Manila
In BGC area of Taguig, Philippines. You'll find the Royal Norwegian Embassy. There's also a consular in Cebu, but never been there
On the 12th floor you'll find the Norwegian Embassy
Because of the pandemic, we've have to schedule appointment first and then each person will get an one hour window to vote in. Before they just had drop in on certain days for voting
Voting at Embassy
You go to the window and ring the bell, one of the people in the back will come and give you an envelope and the voting card. Then you go into a room, select who you vote for and seal the envelope
Then go back and ring the bell, now you'll get another envelope. This time you'll fill out som details about yourself, such as your county and name. So they can correctly send the vote to your district back home
When the envelope arrive at the correct district, they'll remove it from the outer envelope and put it together with the other votes
The entire process took less than 15min, from arriving to the building, going through building sign in, security checkpoint, voting, pickup passport for my kid and leaving
