菲律宾参议员伊梅·马科斯提交法案,建议将村级及青年委员会选举推迟至2027年

菲律宾参议员伊梅·马科斯提交了一项法案,提议将原定于2026年11月举行的村级及青年委员会选举(BSKE)推迟至2027年10月,理由是当前的石油危机以及选举与万灵节的日期冲突。她警告称,高昂的交通费用可能会剥夺返乡选民的投票权。马科斯还建议重新调整选举预算,以应对通货膨胀。

菲律宾马尼拉——参议员伊梅·马科斯以石油危机背景下需要更多资金为由,提交了一项法案,建议将村级及青年委员会选举(BSKE)从2026年11月推迟至2027年10月举行。马科斯指出,BSKE的选举日期与万灵节冲突,而届时有数百万菲律宾人会返乡。她说:“万灵节对菲律宾人来说很重要,是纪念逝者的日子,但由于旅行支出不断增加,这可能会让民众不愿返乡,更不用说去投票了。”马科斯补充道:“石油危机引发了交通费用的显著上涨,造成了严重的选民剥夺风险,特别是对于那些在居住地以外注册的选民以及那些已经在应对生活成本压力的弱势群体而言。”她解释说,推迟一年将使选民有时间将注册地转至当前居住地,从而避免昂贵的差旅。马科斯提议重新调整价值数十亿比索的选举预算,以减轻通货膨胀的影响,并确保地方政府在竞选干扰下的连续性。她说:“让我们尊重逝者,让菲律宾人在11月能够专注于祈祷和纪念,而不必承受投票和地方政治活动的额外压力。”立法者对此意见不一。参议院财政委员会主席谢尔温·加查利安称此举违宪,并指出这已是第二次类似性质的推迟,同时强调公众渴望选出地方领导人。参议员JV·埃赫西托则强调应符合最高法院设定的准则。选举律师罗穆洛·马卡林塔勒则将此举归因于2028年大选前的政治考量。
