36 party-list groups may be disqualified
The Commission on Elections (Comelec) will issue notices to 36 party-list groups for allegedly violating campaign rules, potentially barring them from the May 2025 midterm polls.
Comelec Chairperson George Erwin Garcia stated that these organizations will be asked to remove their campaign materials within three days, with non-compliance possibly leading to disqualification cases.
Violations cited include incorrect material sizes, use of environmentally unfriendly materials, and placement in prohibited areas.
Garcia mentioned that the Comelec is investigating allegations of vote-buying involving a particular party-list group, though currently only possesses photographic evidence.
The campaign period for senatorial and party-list candidates began on February 11 and will end on May 10.
