Comelec Takes Down Illegal Campaign Materials Abs Cbn News Manila a group representing social media broadcasters wants an election law to be declared unconstitutional over its supposed lack of regulation on "premature campaigning". Section 80 states that it is unlawful for any person, whether a voter or candidate, to engage in election campaigning or partisan political activity outside the official campaign period. ausan highlighted the need to respect the supreme court’s ruling in the case of penera vs. comelec. Per the commission on elections’ (comelec) recent admission, “premature campaigning” is no longer an election offense. one landmark supreme court ruling (lanot v. comelec), lucidly penned by former associate justice antonio carpio, found its way into the 2007 amendment (republic act no. 9369) of the election law, practically nullifying.

Despite efforts to crack down on early campaigning, the poll body on saturday reiterated that they are bound by a legal loophole that allows aspiring candidates to put up materials and even run advertisements before the official campaign period begins. Prior to the 2018 barangay and sk elections, the commission on elections (comelec) conceded that while premature campaigning is a “pernicious act”, there is no law that punishes it. however, some election watchdogs maintain that aspirants for elective office should not take advantage of the absence of a law penalizing premature campaigning.
