President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. has approved the postponement of the Bangsamoro Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (BARMM) elections from May to October 2025.
The Senate passed the bill on February 3, resulting in Republic Act 12123, which resets the first BARMM elections due to the need for adjustments in the region’s parliamentary structure.
The elections will now be held on October 13, 2025, with subsequent elections scheduled every three years, synchronized with national elections.
Executive Secretary Lucas Bersamin confirmed that Marcos signed the measure into law on February 19.
A certified copy of the law was transmitted to the Commission on Elections (COMELEC) earlier this week.
