# 2025 Valenzuela local elections

Local elections are scheduled to be held in Valenzuela on May 12, 2025, as part of the 2025 Philippine general election. The electorate will elect a mayor, a vice mayor, 12 members of the Valenzuela City Council, and two district representatives to the House of Representatives of the Philippines. The officials elected in the election will assume their respective offices on June 30, 2025, for a three-year-long term.

## Electoral system

Local elections in the Philippines are held in every second Monday of May, every three years starting in 1992. Single-seat positions (mayor, vice mayor and House representative) are elected via first-past-the-post-voting. The mayor and vice mayor are elected by the city at-large, while the House representative and city councilors are elected per district.
City council elections are done via plurality block voting; for the Valenzuela City Council, the city is divided into two districts, with each district sending six councilors. There are two other ex officio seats, from the federation presidents of the Liga ng mga Barangay and Sangguniang Kabataan; these will be determined later in the year at the barangay and Sangguniang Kabataan elections.
Voters in Valenzuela shall also elect senators and party-list representatives on this day.
