Over 880K sign up during first 4 days of voter registration for 2025 BSKE

The number of applications to vote for the 2025 Barangay Sangguniang Kabataan Elections (BSKE) reached more than 880,000 so far, the Commission on Elections (Comelec) said Tuesday.  

Data from the Comelec showed that 881,772 individuals registered for the 2025 BSKE as of Monday, August 4. 

Of the figures, the highest number of registrants were reported in Region III (Central Luzon) with 208,398. It was followed by Region IV-A (Calabarzon) with 102,235; National Capital Region with 64,131; and Region I (Ilocos Region) with 52,372. 

Cordillera Administrative Region (CAR) recorded the lowest number of applications with 12,987.

Comelec chairperson George Erwin Garcia described the voter registration for the 2025 BSKE as “the most successful voters registration in history. The most in number in the shortest period”.

The poll body started the 10-day nationwide voter registration for the 2025 BSKE on Friday, August 1. It is slated to run until August 10.

However, voter registration in Special Registration Anywhere Program (SRAP) sites will last until August 7. 

The Comelec earlier said it is eyeing to register 1 million voters during the registration period. It also set up SRAP booths in various areas in Metro Manila including malls, hospitals, and airports. 

The 2025 BSKE is scheduled on December 1, 2025.

However, Garcia said President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. is set to sign into law a proposed bill seeking to postpone the 2025 BSKE.

Garcia said Malacañang informed the poll body of the law signing to be held on Tuesday, August 12. —KG, GMA Integrated News
