The 2010 Philippine House of Representatives elections will be held on May 10, 2010, to elect members to the House of Representatives of the Philippines to serve in the 15th Congress of the Philippines from June 30, 2010 until June 30, 2013. The Philippines uses parallel voting for seats in the House of Representatives.

In district elections, 229 single-member constituencies will elect one member of the House of Representatives. The candidate with the highest number of votes wins that district's seat. In the party-list election, party-lists will dispute the 57 seats, with the party-lists with at least two percent of the vote winning one seat; an additional of two more seats may be won by the party depending on their vote totals. In all, the 15th Congress will have 286 members, with 144 votes being the majority.

District changes

There are several new districts; most notable is the redistricting of Cavite from three legislative districts to seven. Only the old first district remained intact, except for Bacoor being separated and being named as the new second district; all other districts were redistricted anew.

Malolos, Bulacan was supposed have to be represented separately from Bulacan's first district in the Philippine House of Representatives, but the Supreme Court invalidated the law (R.A. 9591) providing for the establishment of the district due to its lack of sufficient population (223,000 vs. the constitutionally required 250,000). Malolos voters will still have their representation as part of Bulacan's first district.[4]

Party-list elections

Main article: Philippine House of Representatives party-list election, 2010

In party-list elections, parties nominate three persons to be their candidates, ranked in order of which they'll be seated if elected.

Candidates from the district elections are not allowed to be nominated by the parties participating in the party-list election, nor are parties who have candidates in the district elections may be allowed to join the party-list election; the parties in the party-list election must represent a distinct "sector" in the society such as women, laborers and the like.

In the election, the voter elects the party, not the nominees of the party. If the party surpasses 2% of the national vote, the person first nominated by the party will be seated. Additional seats can be won depending on the amount of votes the party garnered in the election (see the formula).
