Ilocos Norte's at-large congressional district

Last updated

Ilocos Norte's at-large congressional district is an obsolete electoral district that was used for electing members of Philippine national legislatures in Ilocos Norte before 1987. [1]

Contents

Ilocos Norte first elected its representatives at-large during the 1898 Philippine legislative election for six seats in the Malolos Congress, the National Assembly of the First Philippine Republic. [2] Following the installation of U.S. civil government in 1901 and the reorganization of provinces for the Philippine Assembly, Ilocos Norte was divided into a first and second district. [1] The provincewide district was re-created ahead of the 1943 Philippine legislative election for a seat in the National Assembly of the Second Philippine Republic, with an additional seat assigned to its provincial governor. [3] The district became inactive again following the restoration of the House of Representatives in 1945 when Ilocos Norte returned to electing its representatives from its two districts. [1] In the unicameral Batasang Pambansa that replaced the House in 1978, Ilocos Norte was included in the multi-member regional electoral district of Region I (Ilocos Region) for its interim parliament. The district was again utilized in the 1984 Philippine parliamentary election when Ilocos Norte was granted two seats in the regular parliament. [1] [4]

After 1986, Ilocos Norte elected its representatives from its two single-member congressional districts restored under a new constitution. [5]
