RA 7941 : Party List System Act

The heart of democracy is the idea that everyone should be heard. In promoting proportional representation in the election of representatives to the House of Representatives, RA 7941 is enacted. Through this law, registered national, regional and sectoral parties or organizations or coalitions will have representations in congress. This will enable Filipino citizens belonging to marginalized and under-represented sectors, organizations and parties, and who lack well-defined political constituencies but who could contribute to the formulation and enactment of appropriate legislation that will benefit the nation as a whole.

The Party-List System Act provides the definition of a party list and the conduct of Party list election.
