I suppose it is possible. I'm not sure why you would want an electrical outlet under a bathroom sink, though. I don't know of any houses that are built with an electrical outlet under the sink. If you were so inclined and had the know-how to do it, I suppose you could install one yourself(don't blame me if you get electrocuted, though!).
Usually it's better to call an electrician for stuff like this.
Hope that helps.

∙ 11y agoAny receptacle within six feet of a sink must be ground faulted (with a GFCI receptacle or circuit breaker). The receptacle should not be installed directly behind the sink.
This depends on your national norms. A kitchen is often not regarded as a wet room in the same sense as a bathroom. Thus the same rules regarding placement of materials with different encapsulation degree does not apply. In most countries, the outlet can be placed anywhere on the wall behind the sink. What is much more important than its placement is the fact that it is properly grounded. Any apparatus that is used in a room with Plumbing should be grounded.
