The Bangsamoro Electoral Code will serve as guide for the first BARMM regional elections in 2025.
GENERAL SANTOS, Philippines – The Bangsamoro parliament made history as it passed the Muslim-majority region’s electoral code on its third and final reading, just two minutes before midnight on Wednesday, March 8.
The Code serves as the legal framework for the structural, functional, and procedural principles of elections, plebiscites, referenda, and recall proceedings in the Bangsamoro region. A series of consultations and deliberations on the bill significantly reduced the original draft from 14 articles and 62 pages to just 11 articles and 51 pages.
Bangsamoro parliament Deputy Speaker Omar Yasser Sema, who presided over the session, banged the gavel at 11:58 pm on Wednesday. He said the electoral law would encourage the formation of “genuinely principled political parties” in the Bangsamoro region.
