IMHO, mura mahitabo man nang snap election if there was previous election na nahitabo and in any circumstances na fail ang election because naai gubot nya gi daot nila ang election paraphernalia o kaha sudden grab of power while nag counting pa sa ballots. basta anything na naai gubot during election na dili matabang kai undangon or i-void ang election dayon mag snap elections ang mahitabo

A snap election is an election called earlier than scheduled. Generally it refers to an election called when no one expects it, usually to capitalize on a unique electoral opportunity or to decide a pressing issue. It differs from a recall election in that it is initiated by politicians (usually the head of government or ruling party) rather than voters. Because the power to call snap elections usually lies with the incumbent, they frequently result in increased majorities for the party already in power, having been called at an advantageous time.

In the Philippines, the term "snap election" usually refers to the 1986 presidential election, where President Ferdinand Marcos called elections earlier than scheduled, in response to growing social unrest. Marcos was declared official winner of the election but was eventually ousted when it was alleged that he cheated in the elections.

The reasons for the calling of the snap election are because of political and economic crisis, political instability in the country and deteriorizing peace and order situation.

In the current constitution, a snap election will be held for the positions of president and vice president on the condition that both positions are vacant, and outside the 90-day range of the next scheduled presidential election.
