The Commission on Elections (COMELEC) has officially recognized the Civil Society Organization-led Independent Election Monitoring Center (IEMC) as an election monitor for the upcoming 2025 National and Local Elections and the Bangsamoro Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (BARMM) Parliamentary Elections.

A coalition of civil society organizations and institutions launched the Independent Election Monitoring Center (IEMC) for the Bangsamoro Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao and Sulu on May 5. The announcement was made during a press conference at the Institute for Autonomy and Governance in Cotabato City.

A wave of community engagement has swept across the five municipalities of the Iranun Development Council (IDC) as diverse sectors actively participated in a series of Local Stakeholder and Community Consultations throughout April 2025.

IAG and SLASH.ph have signed a memorandum of agreement to establish the Independent Election Monitoring Center (IEMC) - BARMM & Sulu, headquartered in Cotabato City. The IEMC will monitor electoral activities, enhance security, prevent violence, and promote transparency and fairness in the May 2025 elections.

The IEMC-BARMM & Sulu is dedicated to working collaboratively with all stakeholders, including government agencies, civil society organizations, and the media, to ensure a successful and peaceful electoral process in 2025.
