National and local elections are held on the second Monday of May every third year starting 1992. The presidential and vice presidential elections are held every six years. Election Days in which the president and vice president and barangay officials are not elected are called "midterm elections"; Election Days in which the president and vice president are elected are called "presidential elections". Barangay-level officials, although are currently elected in the same year as the other officials, are elected separately the succeeding months (see below).
