Voter registration for BSKE to proceed in July — Comelec
The Commission on Elections (Comelec) confirmed that voter registration for the 2025 Barangay and Sangguniang Kabataan (SK) elections will proceed in July as scheduled.
Comelec chairperson George Erwin Garcia stated that the registration will continue regardless of any potential term extension for current barangay officials.
The voter registration is scheduled from July 1 to July 11.
This announcement comes as the House of Representatives has approved on final reading a bill that would extend the term of barangay and SK officials from three to six years.
The proposed measure also includes a provision for incumbent officials, elected in October 2023, to remain in office until May 2029 and synchronize BSKE starting in 2029 to be held every six years on the second Monday of May.
