The Cebu Provincial Board is the Sangguniang Panlalawigan (provincial legislature) of the Philippine province of Cebu.
The members are elected via plurality-at-large voting: the province is divided into seven districts, two representatives in each district. The candidates with the highest number of votes in each district, depending on the number of members the district sends, are 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 appropriation of members is coextensive with the legislative districts of Cebu. In October 2024 a Supreme Court ruling ruled that Mandaue City shall elect their own Provincial Board members. This makes the total numbers of Provincial Board members to 19.[1]
Aside from the regular members, the board also includes the provincial federation presidents of the Liga ng mga Barangay (LnB), the Sangguniang Kabataan (SK, youth councils) and the Philippine Councilors League (PCL).
