Legislative districts of Capiz

The legislative districts of Capiz are the representation of the province of Capiz in the various national legislatures of the Philippines. The province is currently represented in the lower house of the Congress of the Philippines through its first and second congressional districts.

History

Capiz was divided into three legislative districts until 1957, when Aklan was granted its own representative, reducing it to two legislative districts. It was part of the representation of Region VI from 1978 to 1984, and from 1984 to 1986 it elected two assemblymen at-large. Romblon was last represented as part of the third district of Capiz in 1919.
