The members are elected via plurality-at-large voting: the province is divided into two districts, each having four seats. A voter votes up to four names, with the top four candidates per district being 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.
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).
Apportionment
The districts used in appropriation of members is not coextensive with the legislative district of Ifugao; unlike congressional representation which is at-large, Ifugao is divided into two districts for representation in the Sangguniang Panlalawigan.
The first district includes the western side of the province, encompassing the capital, Lagawe, as well as the municipalities of Asipulo, Hingyon, Hungduan, Kiangan, Lamut, and Tinoc. The second district comprises the eastern municipalities of Aguinaldo, Alfonso Lista, Banaue, and Mayoyao.
In 2025, the second district gained 2 additional seats after the Department of Finance upgraded the province's income classification to 2nd class, from 3rd class.[1]
