The 2021 Special Guidelines on Remote Student Elections is an Addendum to the 2010 Revised University of the Philippines Diliman Student Election Code.

A remote electoral process was deemed necessary due to the remote learning setup amid the ongoing and worsening COVID-19 pandemic in 2021, wherein students, faculty, and staff of the university suffer from unprecedented socio-economic crisis. In order to ideally ensure a democratic electoral process, remote elections are therefore to be conducted only as necessitated by circumstances, and as decided upon by the student body through their respective student councils and governments.

The 2021 Special Guidelines on Remote Elections is a special set of guidelines to be applied in cases where portions, sections, or articles of the 2010 Revised University of the Philippines Diliman Student Election Code are unsuitable for remote electoral processes. In instances where no alternative is offered by the 2021 Special Guidelines on Remote Elections, the corresponding rules provided by the relevant portions, sections, or articles of the 2010 Revised University of the Philippines Diliman Student Election Code shall apply. In instances where the 2021 Special Guidelines on Remote Elections and the 2010 Revised University of the Philippines Diliman Student Election Code may contradict, the 2021 Special Guidelines on Remote Elections, in the case of a remote electoral process, shall take precedence.

The 2021 Special Guidelines on Remote Elections shall base on democracy in processes, student democratic rights, and genuine student representation as guiding principles in its implementation.
