The Iloilo Provincial Board is the Sangguniang Panlalawigan (provincial legislature) of the Philippine province of Iloilo.
The members are elected via plurality-at-large voting: the province is divided into five districts, each having two seats. A voter votes up to two names, with the top two 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.
The districts used in appropriation of members are coextensive with the legislative districts of Iloilo.
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).
Since 1992, Sangguniang Panlalawigan members have been elected from districts to ensure geographical representation, and the size of the province's Sanggunian was dependent on its income classification rather than population.[1]
