The Tawi-Tawi Provincial Board is the Sangguniang Panlalawigan (provincial legislature) of the Philippine province of Tawi-Tawi.
The members are elected via plurality-at-large voting. The province is divided into two districts, each with four seats. A voter votes for up to four names, with the top four candidates per district being elected. 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.
The districts used in appropriating members are not coextensive with the legislative district of Tawi-Tawi; unlike congressional representation, which is at-large, Tawi-Tawi is divided into two districts for representation in the Sangguniang Panlalawigan.
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). Tawi-Tawi's provincial board also has reserved seats for the sectoral representatives for women, agricultural workers, and businessmen.
