District elections

Party-list election

On Election Day, parties are guaranteed to win at least one seat if they surpass 2% of the national vote, then another seat for every 2% until it reaches the maximum of three seats per party. However, with the Supreme Court decision on VFP vs. COMELEC, the 2% increments was declared unconstitutional. Instead, the party with the most votes gets at least one seat, then another seat for every 2% until it reaches the maximum of three seats. For parties that got 2% of the vote but did not have the most votes, they will automatically have one more seat, then any extra seats will be determined via dividing their votes to the number of votes of the party with the most votes, then the quotient will be multiplied by the number of seats the party with the most votes has. The product, disregarding decimals (it is not rounded), will be the number of seats a party will get.

For example, for the

${\displaystyle \mathrm {Seats} =({\frac {\mathrm {802,060} }{\mathrm {1,708,253} }}){3}={1.41}}$

Disregarding decimals, APEC won one additional seat aside from one seat they automatically won after surpassing the 2% threshold.
