Albay Provincial Board

The Albay Provincial Board is the Sangguniang Panlalawigan (provincial legislature) of the Philippine province of Albay.

The members are elected via plurality-at-large voting: the province is divided into three districts, with the first two having three seats and the third having four seats. A voter votes up to three names in the first and second districts and up to four names in the third district; the top candidates are then elected to fill the seats assigned to each district. 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.

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) as ex officio members. They join the board once they are elected as president of their respective league or federation shortly after the start of their terms following the regular local elections (in the case of PCL) or the barangay and SK elections (in the case of ABC and SK).

District apportionment The districts used in appropriation of members is coextensive with the legislative districts of Albay.
