Bringing migration and electoral studies together, this research focuses on emigrants` homeland political participation through external voting. It primarily uses the concepts of socioeconomic and resocialization factors and their influence on migrants’ voting behaviors. The study centers on Taiwan-based Filipino migrants’ perspectives and explores their awareness, participation, and perceived importance of the Philippines’ external voting policy through Overseas Absentee Voting (OAV). Results show that education as a socioeconomic indicator coincided more with assumptions on how it can positively influence emigrants’ homeland political and electoral participation or perspectives. On the other hand, length of stay abroad as a resocialization indicator shows a weaker link, yielding both positive and contrasting results on assumptions that a longer stay abroad distances emigrants from homeland politics and electoral participation.參考文獻 Alarcon, J.
