Local elections were held in Marinduque on May 9, 2022, as part of the 2022 Philippine general election. Voters selected candidates for all local positions: a town mayor, vice mayor and town councilors, as well as members of the Sangguniang Panlalawigan, a vice-governor, a governor and a representative for the province's at-large congressional district in the House of Representatives.

The local office of the Commission on Elections (COMELEC) in the province confirmed that as of September 29, 2021, some 159,000 eligible voters throughout Marinduque were registered to vote for this election. While this number is lower than in previous provincial elections, the COMELEC expected the number of registered voters to increase with the extension of voter registration brought about by the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic in the Philippines.[1]

Provincial elections

[edit]

On October 9, 2021, the COMELEC released its final list of candidates running for provincial office, with 29 candidates vying for 11 posts.[2]

Governor

[edit]

Incumbent governor Presbitero Velasco Jr. was eligible to run for a second term in office, and ran for re-election. His vice governor, Romulo Bacorro, joined Aksyon Demokratiko on September 23, 2021,[3] in the process leaving PDP–Laban, and sought the governorship against Velasco.[4]

On October 3, 2021, James Marty Lim, barangay captain of Barangay Dos in Gasan and national chairman emeritus of the League of Barangays in the Philippines, announced on Facebook that he would run for governor. Lim last sought a province-wide post in 2007, when he ran for congressman against Carmencita Reyes,[5] while his mother, Gasan mayor Victoria L. Lim, also unsuccessfully sought the governorship against Reyes in the 2016 election.[6] Lim filed his certificate of candidacy on October 5, 2021, and ran under his Alliance for Barangay Concerns party list.[7]
