Voter registration for barangay, SK polls set
The Commission on Elections (Comelec) is planning to conduct a nationwide voter registration in the third quarter of the year, likely in July or August, following the May 12 midterm elections.
This registration period is intended to accommodate new voters before the Barangay and Sangguniang Kabataan Elections (BSKE) scheduled for December.
Comelec chairperson George Garcia estimates that this 10-day registration drive could potentially add 1 million to 1.2 million new voters.
The previous voter registration period ran from February 12 to September 30, 2024, resulting in 68,431,965 registered voters for the upcoming polls.
Newly registered voters will not be eligible for the October 2025 Bangsamoro Parliamentary Elections due to time constraints for necessary processes like Election Registration Board hearings.
