DeutschIlocos Sur's at-large congressional district
Ilocos Sur's at-large congressional district is an obsolete electoral district that was used for electing members of Philippine national legislatures in Ilocos Sur before 1987.[1]
Ilocos Sur first elected its representatives at-large during the 1898 Philippine legislative election for three seats in the Malolos Congress, the National Assembly of the First Philippine Republic, with an additional seat granted to an appointed delegate.[2] Following the installation of U.S. civil government in 1901 and the reorganization of provinces for the Philippine Assembly, Ilocos Sur was divided into a first, second and third district.[1]
Its third district was eliminated following the separation of Abra in 1917.[3] The provincewide electoral district was re-created ahead of the 1943 Philippine legislative election for a seat in the National Assembly of the Second Philippine Republic, with an additional seat assigned to its provincial governor.[4] The district became inactive again following the restoration of the House of Representatives in 1945 when Ilocos Sur returned to electing its representatives from its two districts.[1]
In the unicameral Batasang Pambansa that replaced the House in 1978, Ilocos Sur was included in the multi-member regional electoral district of Region I (Ilocos Region) for its interim parliament. The district was again utilized in the 1984 Philippine parliamentary election when Ilocos Sur was granted two seats in the regular parliament.[1][5]
After 1986, Ilocos Sur elected its representatives from its two single-member congressional districts restored under a new constitution.[6]
