Four special elections (known elsewhere as "
by-elections") were held on December 10, 1940, for vacant seats in the
National Assembly of the Philippines, the legislative body of the
Commonwealth of the Philippines. These elections were conducted to fill the seats left vacant by the appointment of
Pedro Sabido as manager of the National Abaca and other Fibers Corporation in
Albay's
third district, the deaths of Ruperto Montinola in
Iloilo's
second district and Ruperto Kapunan in
Leyte's
fifth district, and the resignation of Felipe Buencamino Jr. in
Nueva Ecija's
second district. The date of the special elections was set by President
Manuel L. Quezon through Proclamation No. 625 signed on October 4, 1940.

The special elections were held on the same date as local elections for provincial, municipal and city officials.
