2007 Philippine barangay and Sangguniang Kabataan elections

Synchronized Barangay and Sangguniang Kabataan (SK) elections were held on October 29, 2007 based on the newly amended Republic Act No. 9340, approved on September 22, 2005 by the 13th Congress of the Philippines which prescribed that Barangay and SK elections would occur on the last Monday of October 2007 and in subsequent elections after three years. The 14th Congress of the Philippines tried twice to reset the Barangay and SK Elections instead to May 2008 so the elections could be trial for the computerization of elections following Republic Act No. 9369, also known as "Amending the Election Modernization Act" but were unsuccessful since the Senate rejected the bill. The elections were held in the country's 41,995 barangays and contested 41,995 posts for the Barangay Chairman also known as the "Punong Barangay" also for the SK Chairman and 293,965 posts for the Members of the "Sangguniang Barangay" also known as the "Barangay Kagawad" also for the Members of the "Katipunan ng mga Kabataan" also known as the "SK Kagawad".
