The Bulacan Provincial Board is the Sangguniang Panlalawigan (provincial legislature) of the Philippine province of Bulacan.
The members are elected via plurality-at-large voting: the province is divided into six Sangguniang Panlalawigan districts, and each district send two members since 2022; the number of candidates the electorate votes for and the number of winning candidates depends on the number of members their district sends. 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 Bulacan, with the exception that the Legislative district of San Jose del Monte being a part of the 4th provincial board district.

In May 2024, the Supreme Court ordered the addition of two seats in the Board in favor of San Jose del Monte following a petition by Representative Florida Robes.[1]
Robes's Mandamus petition sought clarification of Republic Act No. 11546. In a 15-page landmark decision dated June 13, 2023, Justice Japar Dimaampao ordered the amendment of Commission on Elections's "Section 6 of Resolution 10707 to conform with Section 41(b) of Republic Act 7610 to give 2 seats for SJDM in the Sangguniang Panlalawigan."[2][3]
