The Philippine presidential and vice presidential election of 2016 is the next presidential election in the Philippines, scheduled on Monday, May 9, 2016. Incumbent President Benigno Aquino III is barred from seeking re-election, pursuant to the 1987 Philippine Constitution. Therefore, this election will determine the 16th President of the Philippines. The position of president and vice president are elected separately, and the winning candidates may come from different political parties. This will be the 16th presidential election in the Philippines since 1935, and the sixth sextennial presidential election since 1986. This will be a part of the 2016 general election where elections to the Senate, House of Representatives and local government above the barangay level, including the Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao shall be held. == Electoral system == 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. As Joseph Estrada, who was elected in 1998, was able to run in 2010, it is undetermined if the term limit is for life, or is only limited to the incumbent. The plurality 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. Both winners serve for six years beginning June 30. 2016 and ends six years later. The candidates are determined via political conventions of the different political parties. As most political parties in the Philippines are not based on ideology but as a relationship between patrons and clients, and interactions between political dynasties, a person who was not nominated in this way may either run as an independent, get drafted by another party, or form one's own party. Candidates register at the Commission on Elections. which also regulates and holds the election. The commission then weeds out the so-called "nuisance candidates," or those who have no capability of running a nationwide campaign. This limits the candidates to a small number. Campaigning runs for three months, beginning on early February, and ends at the eve of the election, with a break for Maundy Thursday and Good Friday. Counting of votes is initially held at voting precincts, then are tabulated to the towns and cities, then to the provinces, and finally to Congress, which canvasses the votes. Election protests are handled by the Supreme Court, when it sits as the Presidential Electoral Tribunal. 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「Philippine presidential election, 2016」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
