The last barangay elections were held in May 2018.
In September, the House suffrage and electoral reforms committee approved the bill postponing the barangay and SK polls from May 2020 to May 2023.
If enacted into law, there will be two elections in 2022—the presidential polls in May and the synchronized barangay and SK polls seven months after.
