Anti-Political Dynasty Act: Regulations on Relatives of Elected Officials

The Anti-Political Dynasty Act prohibits the spouse and relatives within the second degree (parents, siblings, children, grandchildren, grandparents) of incumbents from running for office or replacing the elected official. Provisions vary based on the level of government (local, municipal, or national). These relatives must refrain from simultaneous candidacies for identical positions within the same political boundaries, ensuring the reduction of political dynasties. However, exceptions allow them to run for vice positions and certain legislative roles at various local levels.
