Comelec reminds candidates to remove campaign materials
The Commission on Elections (Comelec) has reminded all candidates and political parties to remove their election propaganda and campaign materials within five days after the elections, with the deadline being May 17, 2025.
Failure to comply with this directive, in accordance with Comelec Resolution No. 11086 or the Fair Elections Act, constitutes a violation and may result in penalties or disqualification from holding public office.
Candidates are responsible for removing these materials at their own expense, without need of notice from Comelec.
The Comelec has issued this reminder through its official Facebook page, emphasizing that the removal of propaganda materials after elections is mandatory.
Obstruction of public spaces by campaign materials may also lead to penalties from Comelec or concerned local government units.
