The Basilan Provincial Board is the Sangguniang Panlalawigan (provincial legislature) of the Philippine province of Basilan.

Contents

The members are elected via plurality-at-large voting: the province is divided into two districts, with the first having four seats and the second having six seats. A voter votes up to four names in the first district and up to six names in the second district; the top candidates are then elected to fill the seats assigned to each district. The vice governor is the ex officio presiding officer, and only votes to break ties. The vice governor is elected via the plurality voting system province-wide.

Aside from the regular members, the board also includes the provincial federation presidents of the Liga ng mga Barangay (ABC, from its old name "Association of Barangay Captains"), the Sangguniang Kabataan (SK, youth councils) and the Philippine Councilors League (PCL) as ex officio members. They join the board once they are elected as president of their respective league or federation shortly after the start of their terms following the regular local elections (in the case of PCL) or the barangay and SK elections (in the case of ABC and SK).

In addition, the province's indigenous peoples community sends to the board a sectoral member, the Indigenous Peoples Mandatory Representative (IPMR), in accordance with national guidelines set by the National Commission on Indigenous Peoples pursuant to Republic Act No. 8371, as well as with local guidelines agreed upon by the IP community. [1]

District apportionment

The districts used in the appropriation of members is not coextensive with the legislative district of Basilan. Unlike congressional representation which is at-large, Basilan is divided into two districts for representation in the Sangguniang Panlalawigan, with the western part of the province (Isabela City, Hadji Muhtamad, Lantawan, and Maluso) constituting the first district, and the eastern part (Lamitan City, Akbar, Al-Barka, Hadji Mohammad Ajul, Sumisip, Tabuan-Lasa, Tipo-Tipo, Tuburan, and Ungkaya Pukan) forming the second district.

Voters in Isabela City, which is administratively separate from Basilan, are allowed to vote for provincial officials, including for 1st district board member.

In 2025, the second district gained two additional seats after the Department of Finance upgraded the province's income classification to 1st class, from 3rd class. [2]
