The 2023 Barangay and SK elections are fast approaching. Are you ready to exercise your right to vote on October 30, 2023? If you are a registered voter, you need to find out your COMELEC Precinct Number before you head to the polling station.

This website allows you to search for your precinct number by entering your full name and the location where you registered as a voter.
In this article, we will guide you on how to use the online precinct finder website for the Barangay and Sangguniang Kabataan Elections (BSKE) on October 30. Just follow these simple steps, and you will be ready to vote in no time.

If the system cannot find your details, try entering your name in different ways on the online precinct finder website. Sometimes, your name may have been encoded differently, especially if it has a suffix (such as JR., SR. or III, IV) or a prefix (such as MA. or MARIA) or if it consists of more than one word.
If the result that is displayed does not match your information, you can contact the Office of the Election Officer or send an email to voterverifier@comelec.gov.ph for further verification.
