Practice question
An elected youth-sector representative was twenty-nine on election day and turns thirty during the term. Assume every other requirement is met. Does reaching thirty alone require immediate departure under RA 7941, Section 9?
- Yes, because every birthday terminates the term.
- Yes, because youth representatives may serve only one year.
- No; the statute expressly allows continued service until the term expires.
- Yes, unless the party changes its name.
- No, because the youth age rule has no upper limit at election.
