Comelec: Only few Eleksyon 2025 bets have filed SOCEs
Most candidates for the 2025 midterm elections have not yet submitted their Statements of Contributions and Expenditures (SOCE), according to the Commission on Elections (Comelec).
Comelec Chairman George Garcia noted that few national bets, whether for party-list or Senate, have complied.
The deadline for SOCE submission is June 11, with Comelec expecting a surge in filings during the final week.
Failure to submit SOCEs can lead to penalties such as administrative offenses with fines ranging from P1,000 to P30,000, except for barangay-level aspirants.
For winning candidates or political parties, non-compliance may result in the withholding of their assumption of office.
Exceeding expenditure limits is a criminal offense that carries penalties of imprisonment and disqualification from suffrage.
