The Commission on Elections (Comelec) is prepared to hold the Barangay and Sangguniang Kabataan Elections (BSKE) should the Supreme Court decide to set it at an earlier date, Comelec Chairman George Garcia said Tuesday.
The Comelec chairman made the remark when asked about the pending decision of the SC on the petition questioning Republic Act 11935 which postponed the December 2022 barangay polls to October 2023.
Further, the Comelec chief assured the public that they will continue the printing of the ballots for the BSKE before the end of January or after the printing of the ballots for the special election in Cavite. He cited Chief Justice Alexander Gesmundo's statement that the SC will resolve all the petitions of national concern by the end of January.
Meanwhile, Garcia said Comelec is not yet discussing the possibility of extending the voter registration period beyond January 31.
