What is the term of office for the Chairman and Commissioners of the COMELEC?
The members of the electoral commission serve for a specific, unrenewable duration. The Chairman and the Commissioners are appointed for a fixed term of exactly seven years. To maintain absolute independence, they serve this term entirely without the possibility of reappointment. This fixed term limit is firmly established in Article IX, C, Section 1 1987 Philippine Constitution. “(2) The Chairman and the Commissioners shall be appointed by the President with the consent of the Commission on Appointments for a term of seven years without reappointment.” 06-Mar-26About Nicolas and De Vega Law Offices
