THE BANGSAMORO Parliament’s Rules Committee thoroughly deliberated on the 27 sections under Article VI of BTA Bill No. 29, or the Bangsamoro Electoral Code.
The committee, presided over by COR Vice-Chair and Deputy
Floor Leader Atty. Raissa Jajurie, discussed provisions on Article VI, or the
elective positions in parliament, which is made up of 29 sections, including
the qualifications and election of a chief minister, the manner of allocating
party representation seats, redistricting for parliamentary membership, and the
selection of sectoral representatives, among others.
A total of 80 representatives will make up the Bangsamoro
Parliament as outlined in the BOL, with 50% coming from political parties, 40%
coming from electoral districts, and 10% coming from reserved seats and
sectors.
Under the proposed code, to be a member of the
Parliament, an individual must be at least 25 years old on the day of election,
be able to read and write, and be a registered voter in BARMM.
The 14-article electoral code will prescribe the
structural, functional, and procedural principles governing the election of
officers in the region.
Since February 3, when the committee's deliberations
started, they have finished discussing about six articles. (LTAIS-Public
