Comelec to complete BSKE ballot printing by December
The Commission on Elections (Comelec) aims to complete the printing of over 90 million official ballots for the 2026 Barangay and Sangguniang Kabataan Elections (BSKE) by mid-December.
Comelec Chairman George Garcia stated that the printing and verification process will take approximately 45 days to two months.
This early printing is to avoid interference with preparations for the Bangsamoro parliamentary elections, which Comelec is also scheduled to handle.
The BSKE are set for November 2026, following President Ferdinand "Bongbong" Marcos Jr.'s signing of Republic Act No. 12232, which moved the elections and extended the term for elected officials.
The Comelec previously registered over two million Filipinos for the BSKE, exceeding its target.
