Comelec has initiated preparations for the Barangay and Sanggunian Election (BSKE) amid ongoing legislative delays. The commission emphasized its commitment to enhancing the electoral process, despite challenges in securing final approval from Congress. Officials noted that while two legislative chambers have passed individual measures, the full implementation of reforms remains pending. The BSKE, a key component of local governance, aims to streamline voting procedures and increase transparency. Comelec has outlined a series of steps to ensure the elections proceed smoothly, including public awareness campaigns and infrastructure upgrades. Local leaders and voters have expressed cautious optimism about the reforms, though concerns remain over the timeline for legislative action. The commission has urged lawmakers to expedite the process to avoid further delays in the electoral calendar.
