THE Commission on Elections (Comelec) on Saturday, June 26, 2021, advised voters to shun politicians who have been prematurely campaigning for the May 2022 national and local elections.
In a social media post, Comelec spokesperson James Jimenez said the poll body is powerless against premature campaigning.
"There is something you can do: Vote for someone else," Jimenez addressed voters.
"We can’t do anything about it unless Congress changes the law. So let us make use of our votes... if you want anything to change," said Jimenez.
Jimenez said propaganda materials aimed at promoting a particular individual ahead of the campaign season can be considered premature campaigning.
