Local elections were held in the province of Pangasinan on May 9, 2016 as part of the 2016 Philippine general election. Pangasinan voters will elect a governor, a vice governor, 6 members of the House of Representatives that will represent the 6 congressional districts of the province, and 12 out of 15 members of the Pangasinan Provincial Board. The officials elected will assume their respective offices on June 30, 2016, for a three-year-long term.
Local elections in the Philippines are held every second Monday of May starting in 1992 and every three years thereafter. Single-seat positions (governor, vice governor, and House representative) are elected via first-past-the-post-voting. The governor and vice governor are elected by the province at-large, while the House representative and provincial board members are elected per district.
provincial board elections are done via plurality block voting; Pangsinan is divided into six districts, with each district sending two board members. There are three other ex officio seats, the president of the Philippine Councilorsâ League, the president of the Association of Barangay Captains, and the president of the Sangguniang Kabataan (SK) Provincial Federation; these will be determined later in the year at the barangay and Sangguniang Kabataan elections.
