THE Peñera Doctrine, which was in force during the last Barangay and Sangguniang Kabataan Elections (BSKE), will be applied in the 2025 midterm polls, the Commission on Elections (Comelec) said.

The doctrine, which involves premature campaigning, stems from the Supreme Court ruling on the Peñera v. Comelec case.
