What is the primary function of the Commission on Elections regarding election laws?
The electoral commission acts as the primary executive body for all electoral matters. It is explicitly empowered to enforce and administer all laws and regulations relative to the conduct of an election. This power extends to plebiscites, initiatives, referenda, and recall processes as well. This broad enforcement authority is granted by Article IX, C, Section 2 1987 Philippine Constitution. “SECTION 2. The Commission on Elections shall exercise the following powers and functions: (1) Enforce and administer all laws and regulations relative to the conduct of an election, plebiscite, initiative, referendum, and recall.” 06-Mar-26About Nicolas and De Vega Law Offices
