Commission on Elections-Sablan, Benguet

21/05/2026

The Commission on Elections, through Minute Resolution No. 26-0239, has directed that all pending and future requests for Sangguniang Kabataan special elections to fill vacancies will not be given due course for the time being.

This suspension is in place while the Commission focuses on preparations for the November 2, 2026 National and Local Elections. COMELEC decided to hold off on acting on these SK vacancy requests to ensure that personnel, budget, and logistical resources are concentrated on the upcoming nationwide polls.

As a result, any SK positions that are currently vacant will remain unfilled until after the 2026 SK Elections. Barangays affected by these vacancies will continue to operate with their remaining SK council members, observing the quorum requirements under the SK Reform Act.

The measure reflects COMELEC’s standard approach of limiting special elections close to a scheduled nationwide election to avoid straining resources and to keep the electoral process orderly and focused.
