The 2025 Philippine general election is currently being held on May 12, 2025. During this midterm election, where the winners take office mid-way the term of President Bongbong Marcos, all 317 seats in the House of Representatives and 12 of the 24 seats in the Senate are being contested to form the 20th Congress of the Philippines. Local elections are also currently being held for the executive and legislative branches in every province, city, and municipality in the country. The first regular election to the Bangsamoro Parliament was supposed to be held within the general election after it was postponed in 2022 but will now be held on October 13, 2025.

This is the first general election to be held following the 2023 Philippine barangay and Sangguniang Kabataan elections. This election is also the first automated election to be overseen by the South Korean firm Miru Systems after the Commission of Elections (COMELEC) disqualified Smartmatic from participating in future elections.
