This study assessed the practices and challenges encountered by Electoral Board members in Guinsiliban, Sagay, and Catarman (GuinSaCat), Camiguin during the May 12, 2025 National and Local Elections. A quantitative descriptive-survey design was used. Complete enumeration covered 129 Electoral Board members who served as chairpersons, poll clerks, and members. Data were gathered through a validated questionnaire with a Cronbach's alpha of .96 and analyzed using frequency, percentage, weighted mean, standard deviation, independent-samples t-test, one-way analysis of variance, and Tukey post hoc analysis. Electoral practices were implemented to a high extent overall (M = 3.93, SD = 0.27), particularly voter registration (M = 3.98), voter-record accuracy (M = 3.96), and safeguarding electoral materials (M = 3.96). Challenges were generally reported at a low extent (M = 1.73, SD = 0.87); the leading concerns were physical fatigue and health issues (M = 1.98), diverse voter-education needs (M = 1.89), and technical difficulties with voting equipment or systems (M = 1.88). Practice implementation did not significantly differ across respondent profiles. However, challenge perception differed significantly by sex (p = .033) and age (p = .011), with a Tukey comparison identifying a difference between members aged 21-30 and 41-50 years (p = .008). The findings indicate that standardized electoral procedures support consistent implementation, but targeted interventions remain necessary for personnel well-being, voter education, technical readiness, and age-responsive support.
