Registered voters elected leaders for local positions: a city or town mayor, vice mayor and town councilors, as well as three to four members of the Sangguniang Panlalawigan, the vice-governor, governor and three representatives for the three districts of Bohol.

There is a 12.51% increase to the number of registered voters for the whole province by the end of COMELEC's nationwide registration deadline last September 28, 2018.^[1] This is equivalent to 99,914 new registered voters from 798,768 last 2016 election to a total of 898,682 for this election, becoming the 19th vote-rich province of the country.^[2]

At the end of the filing of certificates of candidacy last October 17, 2018, 46 hopefuls have filed their certificates of candidacy (COC) for 15 provincial elective positions. Based on the official list of provincial Commission on Elections, 5 aspirants ran for governor, 2 for vice-governors, 31 for provincial board members, and 8 for congressmen in three districts.^[3]

On May 16, 2019, Arthur C. Yap was proclaimed as the new governor of the province by the provincial board of canvassers edging a narrow margin from former cabinet secretary Leoncio Evasco.^[4]
