Local elections were held in the province of Rizal on May 12, 2025, as part of the 2025 general election. Voters had selected candidates for all local positions: a town mayor, vice mayor, and town councilors, as well as members of the Sangguniang Panlalawigan, the governor, vice governor, district representatives for the four districts of Rizal, and district representatives for Antipolo's two districts.
The province's election turnout was 76.29% (1,953 election returns), equivalent to 1,275,452 of 1,671,643 total registered voters. With 884,132 votes, incumbent governor Nina Ynares retained her seat and won a landslide victory over her closest opponent, Jose Velasco, who received 75,331 votes. Her reelection marks the Ynares family's extended rule over the province of Rizal, which has lasted since 1992. On the other hand, incumbent Antipolo vice mayor Pining Gatlabayan won her election bid as the province's vice governor, garnering 600,553 votes.
The Nationalist People's Coalition remained the most dominant party inside the Sangguniang Panlalawigan, as all of its 6 candidates in the 2025 midterm elections had secured their seats. Their allies from the Nacionalista Party, National Unity Party, and Partido Federal ng Pilipinas all secured a seat as well. This gives Team Ynares a supermajority in the Sangguniang Panlalawigan for the next three years.
