Zambales's at-large congressional district
Zambales's at-large congressional district refers to the lone
Third Philippine Republic from 1946 to 1972, and the national parliament of the Fourth Philippine Republic from 1984 to 1986.[1]
On two occasions in its history, Zambales sent more than one member to the national legislatures who were also elected or appointed at-large. Three representatives were sent to the National Assembly (Malolos Congress) of the First Philippine Republic from 1898 to 1901 and two representatives to the National Assembly of the Second Philippine Republic from 1943 to 1944.
After 1986, all representatives were elected from its two congressional districts.[1]
