Comelec orders candidates to remove unauthorized campaign posters
The Commission on Elections (Comelec) has instructed national candidates in Cotabato City, Antique, Metro Cebu, Taguig, and other regions to remove unauthorized campaign posters following the start of the campaign period for senatorial positions on February 11.
Acting city election officer Dindo Maglasang warned that Comelec Resolution 11086 prohibits posting materials in public places, trees, streetlamps, and private properties without the owner's consent. Materials must be placed only in designated common poster areas set up by local Comelec offices.
Comelec poll chief George Garcia said about five senatorial candidates have violations regarding non-compliance with size requirements and improper placement of campaign materials in every region.
Candidates will receive a notice to remove these posters within three days, failing which they could face election offense charges and disqualification from the polls.
The campaign period for congressmen and local positions begins on March 28.
