Albay's at-large congressional district may refer to three occasions when a provincewide at-large district was used for elections to the various Philippine national legislatures from Albay.
From 1898 to 1901, five representatives from the province who were elected at-large sat in the Malolos Congress, the National Assembly of the First Philippine Republic.[1] Albay was reorganized under the Insular Government of the Philippine Islands in 1901 with Catanduanes annexed to it and was divided into three districts for the Philippine Assembly in 1907.[2][3] From 1943 to 1944, the province as a whole sent two representatives to the National Assembly of the Second Philippine Republic.[4] Multiple district representation was restored in the province in 1945. In 1978, regional at-large assembly districts were created for the national parliament with Albay included in the 12-seat Region V's at-large district. The province returned to its own single multi-member at-large district in 1984 with a three-seat delegation for the Regular Batasang Pambansa of the Fourth Philippine Republic.[5]
After 1986, Albay elected its representatives from its congressional districts.[6]
