MANILA, Philippines — The Senate approved on third and final reading a bill postponing the synchronized barangay and Sangguniang Kabataan elections to December 5, 2022. Voting 21-0, senators passed Senate Bill 1043 on Monday. The bill sought to hold the village and youth polls in 2022 and conduct subsequent elections every three years. Meanwhile, the House panel on suffrage and electoral reforms approved its committee report on bills seeking to reschedule the barangay and SK elections. If the proposals become a law, it will be the third time since 2016 that the village and youth polls will be postponed.
