The 2023 Barangay and Sangguniang Kabataan Elections (BSKE) is now officially done after the Commission on Elections (Comelec) completed the canvassing of ballots in all 42,001 barangays.
"100% complete voting and canvassing nationwide. No failure of elections," Comelec chairman George Garcia said in a Viber message to reporters. All winners of the BSKE were also proclaimed except for those who were ordered suspended by the Comelec and those with tie votes as the electoral boards availed of the five-day notice rule, Garcia said. The BSKE was held on October 30 except for seven barangays in Lanao del Sur and Samar, which held the elections the following day.
The Parish Pastoral Council for Responsible Voting has found the BSKE "orderly and peaceful" outside the violence that affected some communities in the Bangsamoro Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao . However, the PPCRV, in an earlier statement, said it observed irregularities in the BSKE, including incidents of fake voters "with some voters arriving to find that others had already voted in their place.
