Day 5 and last day of deliberations

The Bangsamoro Parliament’s Rules Committee finished its deliberations on Articles 1 through 10 of BTA Bill No. 29, bringing the proposed electoral code one step closer to committee approval.

Following a series of public consultations, the committee immediately started deliberating the 14-article electoral code.

On Wednesday, February 8, the committee discussed Articles 7 to 10 of the code, such as the qualification of elective local officials, regular elections of officials, the conduct of elections, electorates, and election administration.

The deliberation today was presided over by Floor Leader and COR Chair Atty. Sha Elijah Dumama-Alba.

Atty. Dumama-Alba said that the committee targets submitting the committee report when the session resumes on the third week of February.

The electoral code is one of the Bangsamoro Parliament’s priority measures that must be enacted during the transition period.

It will outline the structural, functional, and procedural principles that will govern the election of officers in the region.(LTAIS-Public Information, Publication, and Media Relations Division)
