00:21In the 2022 presidential election, 5.5 million Filipinos voted with a turnout of 82.6 percent.
00:28Midterm elections usually have lower turnout since Filipinos only vote for senators, party-list representatives, and local officials.

00:39In 2019, it was only 75.9 percent, and in 2013, 77.31 percent.
00:46The current numbers don't include the 1.24 million overseas Filipino voters whose turnout is still being finalized.
