An Act Prohibiting the Establishment of Political Dynasties
The bill would stop close relatives (spouses, siblings, parents, children, grandparents, grandchildren and their spouses) of an incumbent who is running again from seeking any local office in the same city or province, and also bars relatives of each other from running together in the same area. It applies to all future elections, requires candidates to swear they have no prohibited ties, and gives the COMELEC power to disqualify violators and treat the violation as a criminal election offense.
