  "title": "Philippines COMELEC Overseas Voter Registration (OVF No. 1, via iRehistro Online Application-Form Generator)",
  "description": "The Commission on Elections' (COMELEC) Overseas Voter Registration process for a Filipino citizen living or working abroad who wants to be added to the National Registry of Overseas Voters (NROV) and vote by mail or at a Philippine post's polling place, under the Overseas Voting Act of 2013 (Republic Act No. 10590, amending RA 9189) and COMELEC Resolution No. 11171. This document models the 'Registration' application-type pathway of OVF No. 1 (Revised 2025), the form's Parts I and II (Personal Information, Residence Abroad, Local Voter Registration status, Contact Details, and Authorized Representative in the Philippines), as collected field-by-field by COMELEC's own public, unauthenticated web tool, iRehistro (irehistro.comelec.gov.ph). iRehistro is explicitly NOT an online registration system: it only fills out and generates a printable, QR-coded OVF1 PDF that the applicant must still personally submit (with supporting documents and biometrics capture) at the nearest Overseas Voting registration site (a Philippine embassy/consulate post, or a COMELEC-designated registration center), per Sec. 6 of RA 10590 — a shape this registry already models under other jurisdictions' *-preapplication schemas (e.g. us/fl/miami-dade/clerk/marriage-license-preapplication) and under other overseas voter-registration schemas (e.g. kr/nec/overseas-voter-registration, de/bundeswahlleiterin/voter-registration-abroad, nl/denhaag/voter-registration-abroad). Out of scope for this v1.0.0: OVF1's other seven application types on the same form and iRehistro screen flow (Certification, Reactivation, Reinstatement, Change of Address, Recapture of Biometrics, Transfer between Posts/Countries, and Correction of Entries/Change of Name — iRehistro's own DOM only ever collects the fields needed to generate a Registration-type OVF1); Part III (the oath and applicant's/authenticating officer's signatures, executed in person, not a data field); Part IV (VRMO/office use) and Part V (Resident Election Registration Board action, office use); in-country (domestic) voter registration, which uses a different, in-person biometric process not modeled here; and the underlying identity-verification, payment, or scheduling steps of the physical post visit. GovSchema is independent and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or operated by the Republic of the Philippines or the Commission on Elections.",

    "notes": "This GovSchema Standard Research cycle (GOV-1457) scouted Philippine voter registration first among several remaining voter-registration gaps flagged by prior cycles (AE has no general process, BR's TSE register is suspended until 2026-11-03, MX INE requires in-person biometrics). COMELEC's own iRehistro tool (irehistro.comelec.gov.ph) is directly reachable (HTTP 200, no login/CAPTCHA/WAF gate on the wizard page itself, unlike comelec.gov.ph's root domain which returns a Cloudflare challenge) and its full, unauthenticated HTML DOM was fetched and read field-by-field: every input/select `name` attribute, `<label>` text, `maxlength`, `<option>` list, help-block text, and the page's own inline client-side `validateForm(...)` call (which encodes the authoritative required/optional field list) were extracted directly from the served HTML, not inferred. The official gazetted OVF No. 1 (Revised 2025) PDF form was independently fetched directly from COMELEC's own site (comelec.gov.ph/php-tpls-attachments/.../AnnexA_OVF1_v5_A4.pdf, HTTP 200, genuine text layer, extracted with pdfjs-dist 4.10.38) and cross-checked against the wizard's fields, confirming iRehistro's DOM models the form's Parts I and II (Registration application type only) verbatim. Documentary requirements were independently corroborated from the Philippine Embassy in Berlin's own official 'Overseas Voting' registration-requirements page (philippine-embassy.de, a Philippine foreign-service-post government page), which cites COMELEC Resolution No. 11171. See VERIFICATION.md for every field's provenance and every interpretive judgment call disclosed for an independent reviewer."
