Local elections were held in the province of Pangasinan on May 13, 2019 as part of the 2019 Philippine general election. Pangasinan voters will elect a governor, a vice governor, 6 members of the House of Representatives that will represent the 6 congressional districts of the province, and 12 out of 15 members of the Pangasinan Provincial Board. The officials elected will assume their respective offices on June 30, 2019, for a three-year-long term.

Electoral system

Local elections in the Philippines are held every second Monday of May starting in 1992 and every three years thereafter. Single-seat positions (governor, vice governor, and House representative) are elected via first-past-the-post-voting. The governor and vice governor are elected by the province at-large, while the House representative and provincial board members are elected per district.

provincial board elections are done via plurality block voting; Pangsinan is divided into six districts, with each district sending two board members. There are three other ex officio seats, the president of the Philippine Councilors’ League, the president of the Association of Barangay Captains, and the president of the Sangguniang Kabataan (SK) Provincial Federation; these will be determined later in the year at the barangay and Sangguniang Kabataan elections.

Campaign

Vote buying

During the 2019 Philippine general elections, several incidents of vote-buying were reported in Pangasinan. In Barangay Buer, Aguilar, four individuals were arrested after authorities confiscated around ₱443,300 in cash, along with sample ballots and flyers bearing the names of local candidates. The suspects were turned over to the National Bureau of Investigation (NBI) in Dagupan City for case filing, while barangay officials were invited for questioning. Incumbent Governor Amado Espino III and Representative Amado Espino Jr. denied any involvement, calling the incident a smear tactic against their campaign. [1]

Nationwide, the Philippine National Police (PNP) reported that around 147 individuals were arrested for allegedly buying or selling votes, with several cases traced to Pangasinan and other regions. The PNP said the arrests formed part of its intensified operations to maintain election integrity. [2]
