Comelec expects 1M registrants during 10-day registration period for BSKE
The Commission on Elections (Comelec) has set the nationwide voter registration for the Barangay and Sangguniang Kabataan Elections (BSKE) from August 1 to August 10, 2025.
This decision allows young voters, particularly those aged 15 to 17, to register for the upcoming BSKE, even as President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr. deliberates on a bill that could postpone the elections and extend officials' terms.
Comelec Chairperson George Garcia emphasized the necessity of the registration period to ensure eligible voters can participate.
Voters registering in the Bangsamoro Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (BARMM) during this period will not be eligible to vote in the BARMM Parliamentary Elections on October 13.
Additionally, the Comelec will launch a 'Register Anywhere Program' in Metro Manila from August 1 to August 7 in various public areas.
