Electoral system
Summarize
Perspective
Local government in the Philippines is governed by the Local Government Code of 1991. It is divided into autonomous regions, provinces, cities, municipalities and barangays. For elections on this day, all positions below the regional but above the barangay level, are disputed, with some exceptions.
Election slates of a governor, vice governor and Sangguniang Panlalawigan (for provinces), mayor, vice mayor and Sangguniang Panlungsod/Bayan (for cities and municipalities) are common. Provincial and city/municipal may cross-endorse each other. Slates may contain candidates from multiple parties. Positions are elected separately.
Executive positions
For governor, vice governor, mayor and vice mayor, voting is via first-past-the-post.
Legislative positions
For members of the Sangguniang Panlalawigan, Panlungsod and Bayan, voting is via the multiple non-transferable vote, where a voter has as many votes as there are positions, and can distribute it to how many candidates there are on the ballot.
Legislative positions which are designated Indigenous People's Mandatory Representation are not elected on this day, nor are barangay positions.
Ex officio seats in local legislatures are also not elected on this day. Philippine Councilors League seats on Sangguniang Panlalawigan are elected later.
