世界的にも有名なフィリピンのドゥテルテ大統領の後任となる大統領選が、2022年5月29日に始まります。

選挙はフィリピン憲法に従って行われ、大統領と副大統領は別々の政党からでる可能性があります。

ポスト投票システムと呼ばれる制度が取られるようで、議決権が最も多い候補者は、投票の多さに限らず勝つ可能性があるそうです。副大統領選は、別の選挙として行われ、選挙権をもった人たちは、選出したい大統領候補と副大統領候補それぞれに分けて投票ができます。

次期候補の選出は、2022年6月30日に開始され、6年間の任期を全うする予定になっています。

現ドゥテルテ大統領は、暴君ぶりに賛否両論がありましたが、次期大統領によってフィリピンの政治と経済などがどのように変わっていくのが見どころです。

2022 Philippine presidential election

The Philippine presidential and vice presidential elections of 2022 is scheduled to be held on Monday, May 9, 2022, as part of that year’s general election. This will be the 17th direct presidential election in the Philippines since 1935 and the seventh sextennial presidential election since 1986.

Incumbent president Rodrigo Duterte is ineligible for re-election, pursuant to the 1987 Philippine Constitution. The position of president and vice president are elected separately, thus the two winning candidates could come from different political parties.
According to the Constitution of the Philippines of 1987, the election is held every six years after 1992, on the second Monday of May. The incumbent president is term-limited. The incumbent vice president may run for two consecutive terms. The first-past-the-post voting system is used to determine the winner: the candidate with the highest number of votes, whether or not one has a majority, wins the presidency. The vice presidential election is a separate election, is held on the same rules, and voters may split their ticket. If two or more candidates win the most votes for any position, Congress shall vote from among them, which shall be president or vice president, as the case may be. Both winners will serve six-year terms commencing at noon on June 30, 2022, and ending on the same day six years later.
