How to find your voting precinct number for barangay, SK elections 2023

MANILA, Philippines – The Commission on Elections (Comelec) on Tuesday, October 25, relaunched its precinct finder ahead of the barangay and Sangguniang Kabataan election.

To find your precinct number, you must encode the following information in Comelec’s website (precinctfinder.comelec.gov.ph):

• First name, middle name, last name
• Date of birth
• Place registration (province, city/municipality).

The precinct finder was supposed to be accessible to the public last week, Comelec Chairman George Erwin Garcia said. However, the poll body had to wait for the approval of the Department of Information and Communications Technology to make sure the website was secure.

Based on Comelec data, there are 67.8 million registered voters, and 23.2 million for the SK polls.

The last barangay and Sangguniang Kabataan elections were held in March 2018.

The next one was supposed to be conducted in May 2020. But in December 2019, then-president Rodrigo Duterte signed into a law a measure rescheduling the exercise to December 2022.

In October 2022, President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. again reset the date to its current date of October 30, 2023.

The Supreme Court ruled in June that the law signed by Marcos rescheduling the polls was unconstitutional, but added that the elections must push through this year “due to legal practicality and necessity.” 

In 2016, news sites aside from Rappler have served as hosts of the Comelec’s precinct finder. – Rappler.com
