The Laguna Provincial Board (Filipino : Sangguniang Panlalawigan ng Laguna) is the Sangguniang Panlalawigan (provincial legislature) of the Philippine province of Laguna.

Contents

The members are elected via plurality-at-large voting: the province is divided into four legislative districts, the first and the second sending three members each and the third and fourth sending two members each; the number of the members the electorate votes depends on the number of members their district sends. The candidates with the highest number of votes in each district, depending on the number of members the district sends, are elected.

The districts used in appropriation of members is coextensive with the four legislative districts of Laguna. Beginning in 2025, the lone congressional districts of Biñan, Calamba, and Santa Rosa will also align with the legislative districts, bringing the total to seven. [1]
