The Commission on Elections (Comelec) has set on Feb. 25, 2023 the special election in Cavite’s seventh congressional district which lost its
representative after relectionist Jesus Crispin Remulla was named Secretary of the Department of Justice.
The filing of certificates of candidacy is on Dec. 5 and 6 while the election period will be from Jan. 26 to March 12, 2023.
The campaign period will run from January 26 to February 23.
The polling precincts will be open from 7 a.m. to 3 p.m.
The Comelec said canvassing of votes will be held immediately after the polling ends, according to the Comelec.
All candidates must file their statements of contributions and expenditures not later than March 10, 2023.
Remulla ran unopposed in the May 9 polls to secure a second consecutive term, amassing nearly 300,000 votes.
Two weeks after, he accepted his nomination as Justice secretary.
