Barangay polls filing sked reset
The Commission on Elections has reset the date for the filing of certificates of candidacy for the barangay (village) and Sangguniang Kabataan (youth council) elections to Sept. 29 from Sept. 14.
In a statement, the Comelec said Thursday it would accept the certificates until Oct. 18.
The Comelec also set the ban on firearms from Sept. 29 to Nov. 13.
The Comelec en banc, in Resolution 8301, cited the need to adjust the schedule “to ensure accomplishment of the activities in preparation for the barangay and SK elections [on Oct. 29] and so as not to deprive voters of their right of suffrage.
Earlier this week, the Comelec announced the certificates of candidacy could be filed between Sept. 14 and 19.
Candidates for punong barangay (village chair), sangguniang barangay kagawad (village councilor), SK chair and SK kagawad (SK councilor) must file their certificates at their city or municipal election offices.
The Comelec said candidates must file their certificates in person or through a duly authorized representative.
The Philippine National Police is set to implement the nationwide gun ban ahead of the polls.
