Legislative districts of Albay

The Legislative Districts of Albay are the representations of the province of Albay in the of the Philippines. The province is currently represented in the lower house of the Congress of the Philippines through its first, second and third congressional districts.

Catanduanes last formed part of the province's representation in 1946, when it began to elect its own representative as a full-fledged province.

The first district of Albay is among the original representative districts from 1907 which has never changed in territorial coverage, along with Ilocos Norte's first and second, Ilocos Sur's first, and Iloilo's first, districts.

Albay, which at the time included the sub-province of Catanduanes, was initially divided into three assembly districts in 1907. The fourth district — consisting of the sub-province of Catanduanes — was created by virtue of Act No. 3617 enacted in 1929, and elected its own representative starting in 1931. When seats for the upper house of the Philippine Legislature were elected from territory-based districts between 1916 and 1935, the province formed part of the sixth senatorial district which elected two out of the 24-member senate.
