The Commonwealth Election Commission is reminding all candidates in the March 23 special election that they have until April 7 to remove all campaign materials from public places. <\/p>\n
CEC executive director Julita Villagomez said yesterday that candidates and their supporters should start taking down their campaign materials.<\/p>\n
She added, though, that the rule on taking down campaign posters applies only to those on public lands.<\/p>\n
According to the Election Reform of 2000 law, each candidate who fails to remove campaign posters within the deadline may be fined $500.<\/p>\n
Most campaign signs have been taken down already.<\/p>\n
Villagomez said that May 12 is the deadline for the candidates\u2019 submission of campaign financial statement.<\/p>\n
Marco Taisakan Peter of the Republican Party won the special election by a landslide in a four-way race for Precinct 3\u2019s vacant seat in the House of Representatives.<\/p>\n
Former representative Donald Cabrera Barcinas of the Democratic Party came second. Independents David Castro Sablan and Mariano Deleon Guerrero Fajardo landed third and fourth, respectively.<\/p>\n
The special election was held following the death of representative Francisco D. Dela Cruz last January.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
