In the Philippines, a nuisance candidate is a legal term for an aspirant candidate for a public office whose certificate of candidacy was not accepted by the Commission on Elections (COMELEC) either ''motu proprio'' by the election body itself or upon a verified petition of an interested party.〔 ==Legal definition== Section 69 of the Omnibus Election Code states that a nuisance candidate is someone who has filed a certificate of candidacy with the intention of:〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.comelec.gov.ph/?r=References/RelatedLaws/OmnibusElectionCode/OECArt9#sec69 )〕 #putting the election process in mockery or disrepute #cause confusion among the voters by the similarity of the names of the registered candidates #other circumstances or acts which clearly demonstrate that the candidate has no ''bona fide'' intention to run for the office for which the certificate of candidacy has been filed and thus prevent a faithful determination of the true will of the electorate. The Law Department of the COMELEC in Manila has the sole authority to declare someone a nuisance candidate. Regional and provincial COMELEC offices has no jurisdiction regarding the matter. COMELEC also cannot prevent persons from filing certificate of candidacy even those who were declared a nuisance candidate in the past. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Nuisance candidate」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
