LOOK: It's official! AESF VII is coming to Manila!
The Asian Network for Free Elections (ANFREL) and the Philippine Commission on Elections (COMELEC) officially relaunched the Seventh Asian Electoral Stakeholder Forum (AESF VII) on 28 October 2026 at the New World Makati Hotel.
Co-hosted with COMELEC and in partnership with the Legal Network for Truthful Elections (LENTE), the National Citizens' Movement for Free Elections (NAMFREL), and the Parish Pastoral Council for Responsible Voting (PPCRV), AESF VII will take place in Manila in February 2027.
Beyond the Bangsamoro, these elections carry important lessons for the wider Asian region, particularly for societies navigating political transitions, conflict, and the pursuit of meaningful autonomy.
The Bangsamoro experience highlights the important relationship between electoral integrity, inclusive governance, and peacebuilding.
