The barangay and SK elections will happen on October 28. The Comelec expects up to 740,000 voters to register for the barangay elections and around two million for the SK elections.
Comelec chair Sixto Brillantes Jr, however, has proposed the postponement of the barangay and SK elections. President Benigno Aquino III, who is hesitant about this move, said he wants a “very good reason” to heed the Comelec recommendation. – Rappler.com
