Legislative districts of Agusan del Norte
The legislative districts of Agusan del Norte are the representations of the province of Agusan del Norte and the highly urbanized city of Butuan in the various national legislatures of the Philippines. The province and the city are currently represented in the lower house of the Congress of the Philippines through their [|first] and [|second] congressional districts.
History
Prior to gaining separate representation, areas now under the jurisdiction of Agusan del Norte were represented under the Department of Mindanao and Sulu and Agusan Province.Republic Act No. 4979, approved in a plebiscite held simultaneously with the 1967 elections, split the old Agusan Province into Agusan del Norte and Agusan del Sur and provided them each with a congressional representative. In accordance with Section 7 of R.A. 4979, Agusan del Norte first elected its [|separate representative] starting in the 1969 elections. The chartered city of Butuan, despite being enumerated as part of the territory of neither successor province, was designated as Agusan del Norte's seat of provincial government and became part of its congressional representation.
Agusan del Norte was represented in the Interim Batasang Pambansa as part of Region X from 1978 to 1984, and returned [|one representative] to the Regular Batasang Pambansa in 1984.
Under the new Constitution which was proclaimed on February 11, 1987, the Agusan del Norte was grouped with the highly urbanized city of Butuan and reapportioned into two congressional districts; each district elected its member to the restored House of Representatives starting that same year.
