Comelec open to reviewing campaign guidelines
The Commission on Elections (Comelec) is considering a review of its campaign guidelines for Eleksyon 2022.
This review is in response to complaints from candidates regarding restrictions such as the prohibition of selfies and handshakes.
Comelec acting chairperson Socorro Inting stated that the current rules were established when some areas were under Alert Level 3.
She acknowledged the complaints and suggested a potential review of the rules, especially with the possibility of areas shifting to Alert Level 1.
Comelec Resolution 10732, issued in November, sets campaign rules under the new normal.
The resolution allows in-person campaigning in areas under Alert Levels 1, 2, and 3, but sets limits on accompanying staff members depending on the alert level.
No limit on the number of accompanying staff members for candidates is implemented under Alert Level 1.
