Comelec, Elections, Nuisance Candidates

The Commission on Elections (Comelec) has resolved all cases against nuisance candidates for the May 2025 midterm elections, marking a historical first. This means these candidates will not be included in the printed ballots. The Comelec is set to begin printing the official ballots on January 6, 2025, aiming to print over 70 million ballots within a 77-day timeframe. Meanwhile, former congressman Edgar Erice has been disqualified from running for Caloocan City's 2nd District post due to his continued criticisms of the automated election system.

Nuisance candidates will not be included in the printing of ballots for the May 2025 midterm elections after the Commission on Elections resolved all cases for local and national posts.

“Our projection is the printing will run for 77 days, which means there must be, more or less, one million ballots printed per day,” Garcia said. In a 30-page decision released over the weekend, the en banc affirmed its Second Division’s earlier ruling barring Erice from participating in next year’s polls.
