The Legislative districts of South Cotabato are the representations of the province of South Cotabato in the various national legislatures of the Philippines. The province is currently represented in the lower house of the Congress of the Philippines through its first and second congressional districts. General Santos, a highly urbanized city since 1988, only votes as part of the first congressional district of South Cotabato for the purposes of electing congressional representatives. As of March 21, 2019, President Rodrigo Duterte signed the law creating a separate legislative district for General Santos. As the 2019 Philippine general election is just 2 months away, the voters of General Santos will elect its first representative by 2022. The now-defunct 3rd district automatically became the representation of Sarangani upon its establishment in 1992, but it was in 1995 that this new province first elected a representative under its own name. History{{further|Legislative district of Mindanao and Sulu|Legislative district of Cotabato}}Prior to gaining separate representation, areas now under the jurisdiction of South Cotabato were represented under the Department of Mindanao and Sulu (1917–1935) and the undivided province of Cotabato (1935–1967). Republic Act No. 4849, enacted on 18 June 1966, created the province of South Cotabato from the southern municipalities of the old Cotabato province.[1] Normally in this time period chartered cities — by virtue of being independently governed — are not enumerated as part of new provinces. However, given that the legality of the plebiscite results which ratified the Charter of the City of Rajah Buayan (Republic Act No. 4413, enacted on 19 June 1965[2]) was still being decided in the courts at the time of R.A. 4849's approval, Section 1 of the said law explicitly listed the City of Rajah Buayan as part of South Cotabato in case it reverted to its former status as the municipality of General Santos, which eventually happened on 29 October 1966 when the Supreme Court nullified the 6 December 1965 COMELEC proclamation declaring the creation of the new chartered city.[3] Per Section 5 of R.A. 4849, South Cotabato's first separate representative was elected in a special election held on the same day as the 1967 senatorial elections[1] and began to serve starting in the second half of the 6th Congress. When General Santos finally became a city under the same name on 15 June 1968 by virtue of Republic Act No. 5412, it remained part of the representation of South Cotabato in accordance with Section 104 of its city charter.[4] South Cotabato was represented in the Interim Batasang Pambansa as part of Region XI from 1978 to 1984. The province returned three representatives, elected at-large, to the Regular Batasang Pambansa in 1984. Under the new Constitution which was proclaimed on 11 February 1987, the province was reapportioned into three congressional districts;[5] each elected its member to the restored House of Representatives starting that same year. The passage of Republic Act No. 7228 and its subsequent ratification by plebiscite on 11 May 1992 separated South Cotabato's entire third district to create the new province of Sarangani.[6] This automatically reduced the province's representation to two districts. The former third district first elected a representative under the designation Lone congressional district of Sarangani beginning in the 1995 election. House Bill No. 4678, filed on 13 December 2016 by the term-limited incumbent representative of the first district, seeks to segregate the highly urbanized city of General Santos from the said district to form its own congressional district, separate from the representation of South Cotabato.[7] This bill is yet to be approved into law. 1st District
