snoop1130 Posted August 16, 2022 Share Posted August 16, 2022 MANILA, Philippines — Lawmakers arguing that postponing the barangay and Sangguniang Kabataan elections slated for December would save money for the government were proven wrong Tuesday as Commission on Elections chairperson George Garcia said deferring the village and youth polls would actually cost around P5 billion more. Despite this, the House of Representatives' suffrage and electoral reforms panel still approved in a 10-2 vote the postponement of the barangay and SK elections to December 4, 2023 from December 5, 2022. At the hearing on the proposals, Garcia explained that moving the barangay and SK elections yet again means that the poll body will resume voter registration which will result in more voters and require more election paraphernalia and workers.
