Under the Comelec’s calendar for Eleksyon 2022, substitution for a candidate in a national or local post can be filed from the end of the COC filing period until November 15, 2021.Īrticle IX, Section 77 of the Omnibus Election Code provides that “f after the last day for the filing of certificates of candidacy, an official candidate of a registered or accredited political party dies, withdraws or is disqualified for any cause, only a person belonging to, and certified by, the same political party may file a certificate of candidacy to replace the candidate who died, withdrew or was disqualified.” The list of candidates, however, is still subject to change until the poll body ends the period of substitution. As the period for the filing of certificates of candidacy ended today, October 8, the Commission on Elections (Comelec) is now drafting the list of Eleksyon 2022 bets in the national and local positions.
