            A compilation of  some prohibited acts during election period as provided by the Omnibus Election Code, Republic Act No. 7166 and other pertinent resolutions promulgated by the Commission on Elections.

Some of these prohibited acts that must be avoided in order to ensure peaceful, clean, and honest elections are the following:

I.       Prohibited Acts During the Election Period

1. Carrying of firearms outside residence and place of business, except in certain cases and with prior authority from the Comelec. (Sec. 261 (Q) OEC; Sec. 32 RA 7166);

DEPUTATION OF DILG, NAPOLCOM, PNP

Ordinarily, the Department of Interior and Local Government (DILG), National Police Commission (NAPOLCOM) and the Philippine National Police (PNP), Armed Forces of the Philippines, are primarily deputized by the Commission on Elections in every election period for the purpose of the following duties and functions:

1.    To provide security to polling places, polling centers/voting centers, and such other places or building, the members of the Board of Election Inspectors and the voters whenever the needs arises, or whenever the Commission through the Election Officer so requires;

CHOICE OF GOVERNMENT

Right Choice of Electorate

 “Governments are classified in a great many ways and from a wide variety of standpoints; many of the categories inevitably overlap.”

The Philippines is a democratic and republican state where sovereignty resides in the people and all government authority emanates from them. That's the most important principle to remember and actually matters, we the people.
