# Parliamentary districts of Bangsamoro

Parliamentary districts of Bangsamoro refers to the electoral districts or constituencies in which the Bangsamoro Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao of the Philippines is divided for the purpose of electing 32 out of 80 members of the Bangsamoro Parliament.
The districts were created on February 28, 2024. The current members however are appointed on an interim basis by the President of the Philippines while the inaugural district parliament members are to determined in the 2025 election.

## Background

The Bangsamoro Organic Law mandates the establishment of the a legislature for the Bangsamoro autonomous region. Thirty-two out of 80 members of the Bangsamoro Parliament are to come from parliamentary districts, which is distinct from the legislative districts of the national Philippine Congress.
The first attempt to establish parliamentary districts was through Parliament Bill No. 6.
Parliament Bill No. 297 was filed on December 18, 2023 during the second Bangsamoro Transition Authority Parliament.
The first public consultations on the bill started on January 15, 2024. There was debates on how the districts should be allocated. This includes advocacy for more districts for some localities than what is proposed on the bill. .
On February 28, 2024 the Bangsamoro Parliament approved the bill proposing the creation of the parliamentary districts which became Bangsamoro Act No. 58. The bill was signed by Chief Minister Murad Ebrahim.
The exclusion of Sulu from the Bangsamoro due to a Supreme Court decision meant that the province will not be part of the inaugural 2025 regional elections. If the seven Sulu districts are not reallocated in time for the 2025 elections, the Sulu seats could remain unfilled.
