Electoral protest.
On July 22, 2019, the Regional Trial Court Branch 21 in Malolos dismissed Atty. Jem Sy's electoral protest against incumbent mayor-elect Ricky Silvestre. It cited the principle of the Supreme Court in the case of Sy v. Marcias in 2010, that “a protest attacking all the precincts is reminiscent of a petition for failure of elections and not an election protest", in regards to the former contesting the results of 104 clustered precincts in Marilao.
Vice Mayor.
Incumbent Vice Mayor Henry Lutao is running for reelection as Vice Mayor, his opponents are Former Abangan Sur Barangay Captain Romell Pabale and Zaldy Marcelo.
