Comelec to lift election gun ban in BARMM
The Commission on Elections (Comelec) has lifted the gun ban and other election-related prohibitions in the Bangsamoro Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (BARMM), including Isabela City in Basilan.
These prohibitions were initially imposed for the October 13 Bangsamoro parliamentary elections, which have since been postponed.
The Comelec will also adjust the schedule for the Bangsamoro Parliamentary Elections, now expected to take place no later than March 31, 2026.
This action follows the Supreme Court's decision to postpone the elections, deeming issues surrounding them moot and academic.
The Supreme Court previously declared parts of the Bangsamoro Autonomy Act (BAA) No. 77 and 58, which reconstituted parliamentary districts, as unconstitutional.
