Elections are the foundation of any democracy because they give citizens the opportunity to exercise their fundamental right to vote for their representatives and shape  the course of their nation. In order to sustain democratic ideals, it is essential to make sure that the voting process is simple and accessible. The Comelec’s Precinct Finder this 2023 is one crucial tool that is essential in this regard. 

The Comelec’s precinct finder is now available for the Barangay and Sangguniang Kabataan Elections (BSKE) today, October 30, 2023. Registered voters are once again expected to cast their votes and select the nation’s next leaders. In this article, we’ll guide you through a step-by-step process on how to get your polling information smoothly online.

STEP 1: Official Comelec Precinct Finder website

For the BSKE Elections 2023, the COMELEC has provided the official precint finder website (link down below). Once you’re in, a “Disclaimer” pop up will appear saying:

This Site is designed to do an exact match of the data you provide vs what is in the COMELEC central database. Make sure to type in your voter information as indicated in your Application Form for Registration in order to get a positive result.

By proceeding with accomplishing this Form, you give consent to the processing of your personal information by the Commission on Elections pursuant to its mandate in relation to voter registration.

Click “Continue” to proceed.

STEP 2: Fill Out Voter Information

Those with name suffixes (e.g. JUAN JR., JUAN SR., JUAN III) are instructed to input it after your FIRST NAME.

For those with MARIA, you may try different variations (e.g. MARIA, MA., MA)

If you have no Middle Name, indicate underscore “_” or dot “.”
