On February 28, 2025, the convoy of a mayoral candidate of Pidigan, Abra, was ambushed in Pilar, killing two people including a barangay chairman.[27] On April 7, a candidate for councilor in Lagangilang, Abra, shot dead a barangay chairman during a dispute with a rival candidate before being shot dead himself by an unidentified individual.[28] On April 21, a shootout between the convoys of a mayoral candidate in Tayum, Abra and a barangay kagawad left one person dead and another injured.[29] Following the incident, Joseph Bernos, the mayor of La Paz, Abra who was running for Congress, was accused of threatening a journalist from DZRH who reported on the shooting.[30]

On polling day, two people were injured after gunmen opened fire near a polling station in Bangued, Abra.[31] Two poll watchers were removed in Abra after a video went viral of them shading ballots for senior citizens.[32]
