Local elections took place in Nueva Ecija on Monday, May 9, 2022, as part of the 2022 Philippine general election. Held concurrently with the national elections, the electorate voted to elect a governor, a vice governor, fourteen provincial board members and four district representatives to congress. Those elected took their respective offices on June 30, 2022, for a three-year-long term. 1,297,243 voters voted in this election.[1]
Incumbent governor Aurelio Umali won reelection in a landslide victory against Palayan mayor Adrianne Mae Cuevas. Umali's brother, incumbent vice governor Emmanuel Umali also won reelection by a landslide against former vice governor Edward Joson and Victoria Capinpin. Umali and Joson also faced each other in the previous race for the vice governorship.[2][3]
Electoral system
The governor and vice governor is elected via the plurality voting system province-wide.The members are elected via plurality-at-large voting: the province is divided into four districts, the first and fourth districts sending three members each, while the second and third districts sending two members each to the provincial board; the number of candidates the electorate votes for and the number of winning candidates depends on the number of members their district sends. The vice governor is the ex officio presiding officer, and only votes to break ties.
